Party unity

How often a member voted with the majority of their own party, counted over the roll calls where the two parties’ majorities disagreed. A high number means they rarely broke ranks. It is not a measure of loyalty, effectiveness or agreement with any voter: it counts one thing.

One tick per sitting member, 536 of them, at their party unity in the 119th Congress; the rule is the median, 98%. The lowest is 49% and the highest 100%.
