Cool idea, it would be nice if you could provide a little bit more information about why the results are the way they are, or the percentage that they match, maybe recent bills that they agreed on. As someone from Canada I have no idea who these people are or why the relationship would be expected/unusual.

Thanks for the feedback. We plan to add a relative index to represent how closely a congressperson votes with respect to one another. The main idea of the map is to show geographic voting trends among congress members. In the future we want to expand on the recent bills idea you gave and provide an in-depth analysis of the different bills people voted on.
