The dataset is derived from legislative voting records and has been processed using the W-NOMINATE method, a statistical technique designed to analyze and scale roll call votes. This approach, developed by Poole, Lewis, Lo, and Carroll (2011), is commonly used to estimate ideological positions of legislators based on their voting behavior. The underlying legislative data itself is sourced from LegiScan, a comprehensive database that compiles bill and voting information from state legislatures. Together, these tools and sources provide a structured dataset that captures patterns in legislative decision-making and enables analysis of political ideology and voting trends.
