Every legislation vote route in the complete official inventory for each configured General Assembly is checked. General Assemblies 129–133 are enumerated from the Legislature's archived fixed-column status-report PDFs. General Assemblies 134–136 combine the official LSC bill/joint/concurrent-resolution status report with separately reconciled official House- and Senate-resolution inventories. Official routes that return a deterministic 404, another measure's page, or a malformed unidentified page are retained as monitored unavailable-route limitations and retried after seven days; they are never interpreted as no vote. If an official page lists the same candidate under conflicting position headings for one event, both positions are quarantined as an ambiguity rather than selecting one. A position attaches only through the candidate's exact official member-profile link or a preconfigured exact published full-name alias plus matching party, after identity and service were independently verified. Fuzzy or surname-only matches, sponsorship, attendance, chamber outcomes, and omitted names are never inferred as votes.
Official filings may be amended after publication.
