Earlier this year, I made a package that riffed off of ProPublica’s really neat voting cartograms (maps) for the U.S. House and Senate. You can see one for disaster relief spending in the House<\/a> and one for the ACA “Skinny Repeal” in the Senate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We can replicate both here with the voteogram<\/code> package (minus the interactivity, for now):<\/p>\n

I think folks might have more fun with the roll_call()<\/code> objects though:<\/p>\n

as they hold tons of info on the votes.<\/p>\n
I need to explore the following a bit more but there are some definite “patterns” in the way the 115th Senate has voted this year:<\/p>\n
library(hrbrthemes)\r\n\r\n# I made a mistake in how I exposed these that I'll correct next month\r\n# but we need to munge it a bit anyway for this view\r\nfills <- voteogram:::vote_carto_fill\r\nnames(fills) <- tolower(names(fills))\r\n\r\nrcalls <- map(1:280, ~voteogram::roll_call(critter="senate", session=1, number=115, rcall=.x))\r\n# save it off so you don't have to waste those calls again\r\nwrite_rds(rcalls, "2017-115-1-sen-280-roll-calls.rds")\r\n\r\n# do a bit of wrangling\r\nmap_df(rcalls, ~{\r\n  mutate(.x$votes, vote_id = .x$vote_id) %>% \r\n    arrange(party, position) %>% \r\n    mutate(fill = tolower(sprintf("%s-%s", party, position))) %>% \r\n    mutate(ques = .x$question) %>% \r\n    mutate(x = 1:n())\r\n}) -> votes_df\r\n\r\n# plot it\r\nggplot(votes_df, aes(x=x, y=vote_id, fill=fill)) +\r\n  geom_tile() +\r\n  scale_x_discrete(expand=c(0,0)) +\r\n  scale_y_discrete(expand=c(0,0)) +\r\n  scale_fill_manual(name=NULL, values=fills) +\r\n  labs(x=NULL, y=NULL, title="Senate Roll Call Votes",\r\n       subtitle="2017 \/ 115th, Session 1, Votes 1-280",\r\n       caption="Note free-Y scales") +\r\n  facet_wrap(~ques, scales="free_y", ncol=3) +\r\n  theme_ipsum_rc(grid="") +\r\n  theme(axis.text = element_blank()) +\r\n  theme(legend.position="right")<\/code><\/pre>\n

Hopefully I’ll get some time to dig into the differences and report on anything interesting. If you get to it before me definitely link to your blog post in a comment!<\/p>\n
FIN<\/h3>\n
I still want to make an htmlwidgets<\/code> version of the plots and also add the ability to get the index of roll call votes by Congress number and session to make it easier to iterate.<\/p>\n
I’m also seriously considering creating different palettes. I used the ones from the source interactive site but am not 100% happy with them. Suggestions\/PRs welcome.<\/p>\n
Hopefully this package will make it easier for U.S. folks to track what’s going on in Congress and keep their representatives more accountable to the truth.<\/p>\n
Everything’s on GitHub<\/a> so please file issues, questions or PRs there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
