Why this matters
A floor vote is the least deniable thing a member of Congress does: it is recorded, it is public, and it cannot be walked back in a later interview. politicianreceipts takes no position on any vote above — we publish the record and let you compare it to what you were told.
Methodology
Every vote on this page comes from the GovTrack API v2 (free public roll-call data), the official congressional record, filtered to the window 2026-08-06 – 2026-08-12. Tallies are chamber totals as recorded; we do not report party breakdowns here because this record does not carry them. Nothing on this page is AI-generated — the article is a mechanical projection of the public record. Generated 2026-08-12T06:00:36.
