Abstract
The polarization of politics and perceived political party influence have dominated recent
literature concerning the roll call voting of Congressmen in the United States. In most instances the success of individual pieces of legislation depends on which party has control of
either the House or the Senate. Literature concerning the subject, however, has neglected the influence of geography on Congressional voting patterns. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether U.S. House of Representative
voting records are influenced greater by party and ideology or region.
