GovTrack’s methodology isn’t unassailable (they still have to figure out how to score certain legislative actions to produce these report cards), but it it repeatable and impartial.

Did you learn it from a meme on Lenny and have you verified that it’s true? I didn’t, and I’d like to believe that stat.
Well I learned about it from a meme, but there is indeed research:
