All data on this page comes from our own database (legislation.states_* tables), scraped from the Nebraska Legislature's website by our own pipeline. Titles, sponsors, actions and vote tallies are shown as the Legislature published them; nothing is generated. Nebraska's Legislature is unicameral and officially nonpartisan; no published ideology measurement of its members is in our database, so nothing on this page places anyone on a left-right axis. Every meter is a roll-call tally, labeled (Vote Record); the pink share of a vote bar is the nay votes - the votes withheld.
