Recorded votes

Steve Driehaus cast 3,023 Yea or Nay votes on the roll calls we hold, across 4 terms from 2003 to 2010, 1,637 in Congress, from Voteview and 1,386 in the Ohio General Assembly, from the Ohio Legislature. Each term opens to every roll call, with the question, the result, how Steve Driehaus voted and how the majority of their party voted.

TermChamberYeaNayDid not voteWith party

"With party" counts only roll calls on which most Republicans and most Democrats voted opposite ways. The Ohio Legislature records who voted Yea and who voted Nay and no one else, so an absence cannot be told from an abstention and neither is counted; only floor votes are listed. For 2003 to 2006 the votes are read from the House and Senate Journals, which print no party, and a vote is left out wherever a surname in the Journal could be two members.
