Methodology

For each recorded roll call we compare a member with most voting Democrats and, separately, with most voting Republicans. The larger side among a party's Yea and Nay votes on that exact roll call is that party's majority, using each member's party at the time of the vote. A tie, or a roll call where that party cast no Yea/Nay votes, has no majority. Present and Not Voting are counted separately and never as for or against. We say "most voting Democrats" and "most voting Republicans" rather than "the majority" because the party that controls the House differs by Congress. Voting against most members of a party is not automatically good or bad: it can reflect district interests, the content of an amendment, or a procedural motion.
