Record card

Counts beside context, not grades. "Chamber median" is the typical member of this chamber in the same session; "own party median" the typical member of the same party. The strip shows every member as a tick and this one as a dot, with no order and no rank. How each measure is counted, and what it cannot tell you.

194th General Court, 2025 to 2026 · 98 roll calls, 36 of them divided

Every row links to the roll call it came from, and that page links to the Clerk's own sheet. Counts here are a list, not a score: a chamber that records few votes, and records them mostly when it already agrees, makes any rate from this list a fact about the chamber's rules before it is a fact about the member.
