A voting gap, not a verdict.

The Divide Meter measures the distance between Democratic and Republican Yea rates on one recorded vote. It is not an opinion poll, a prediction, a measure of public polarisation or a judgement about a bill’s merits.

Score = | Democratic Yea % − Republican Yea % |

This launch snapshot includes twelve recent House passage votes and six Senate passage/cloture records. House scores were computed directly from official XML. Senate XML currently returns an access error, so those entries remain explicitly unscored. No party positions have been inferred from headline totals. House index discovery showed rolls through 314 (16 September); the Senate’s publicly indexed list showed records through September 30. This is a dated selection, not a continuously updated or guaranteed exhaustive feed.
