A community ledger of congressional votes from 2010 through today — not all of U.S. history — on bills that affect African Americans first, and minority communities more broadly. This is not an official government score.

How the score is built
A defined set of bills from 2010–present — not a poll of Black America.
01
Pick the votes that count
Only bills marked African American–focused or related civil-rights / minority impact, and marked scored, move the number. Voice-vote and other highlighted bills stay on the ledger but do not change a member’s score. Other major bills are context only.
02
For us or against us
Each scored bill states what a YES vote means. A vote aligned with that direction counts for us. The opposite counts against us. Absences and “not in office yet” do not count as against.
03
A community ledger, not official math
This prototype uses well-known roll calls and publicly reported partisan splits for votes since 2010. It is not a Congress.gov feed, not a scientific survey, not a complete historical archive, and not an official government scorecard.
