How can I edit the legislators included in my vote scorecard?

Editing, Saving and Sharing your report

Once the report is to your liking, click save in the upper right-hand corner. After that, you'll see that there are a few options worth highlighting: 

1. You can go back and edit the members, votes, dates, and any other criteria you've included; 
2. You can export the report as a PDF or CSV; 
3. And you can share with team members within CQ Federal. 

Popular Use Cases

Comparing Member Votes to Rest of Party

If you've added positions, you can view the percent agreement with your base selected position compared to other members you've included in your report. 

For example, as in the video below, I wanted to see how Rep. Lamb's vote on any recent Environment-related bills compared to the rest of his party. 

Once you've added your vote(s), it's time to add your member and their party. In this example, it will be House Democrats, which includes Rep. Conor Lamb. 

Make sure to set your position on your chosen vote to the vote/position taken by your member, which, in this case, was Yea. 

Then, you can see the percentage with which each Democratic House member voted in line with your selected member's position. Considering Rep. Lamb was one of six Democrats to vote in favor, few members of his party fell in line with him. 

Other Comparison Use Cases

Using the above process, you can also:

1. See if a member's voting history aligns with positions they've publicly taken on specific issues to hold them accountable. 
2. See how a handful of member's voting histories compare to each other. 
3. Create a comprehensive list of all members to see how their votes align or do not align with an organizational interest.
