An Embedding Model for Predicting Roll-Call Votes
We develop a novel embedding-based model for predicting legislative roll-call votes from bill text. The model introduces multidimensional ideal vectors for legislators as an alternative to single dimensional ideal point models for quantitatively analyzing roll-call data. These vectors are learned to correspond with pre-trained word embeddings which allows us to analyze which features in a bill ...

We investigate the relationship between controversial roll call votes and support for Democratic incumbents in the 2010 midterm elections. Consistent with previous analyses, we find that supporters of health care reform paid a significant price at the polls. We go beyond these analyses by identifying a mechanism for this apparent effect: constituents perceived incumbents who supported health ca...
متن کاملA Network Theory Study of Roll Call Votes in the United States Congress
I study the U.S. Congressional voting record using network theory and computations. I encode the roll call votes from both the House of Representatives and the Senate for 1789-2006 into adjacency matrices (graphs) that encode the extent of agreement between any two legislators in a given House or Senate. I apply concepts such as modularity and various notions of centrality to the adjacency matr...

On one hand, we analyze their co-voting patterns and, on the other, their retweeting behavior. We make use of two diverse datasets in the...
