http://www.techpolitics.org/Techpolitics uses computer assisted research to disclose votes by Members of the House of Representatives that fail to align with the interests of large numbers of their constituents. Those constituencies often include minorities, less affluent persons, Social Security recipients, veterans, rural residents and students. Information on political contributions and other factors that may also influence House decisions are also presented.
We begin with extensive census data and figures taken from other government databases, with links found in the left column below this introduction. The right column links to tables matching the appropriate socio-economic characteristics of congressional districts to individual House votes. In many of the tables, the House caucuses that Members belong to are identified.
For example, the House vote on permanently eliminating the estate tax is shown in a table that permits sorting by caucus: for example, by members of the Congressional Black Caucus.
