Evidence-Base Politics
Mid-week update
Sorry folks, I’ve been a bit busy and a bit behind in processing the latest in legislative action. The Evidence-Based Wyoming application just processed the legislative record up through March 4th, 2021.

Evidence-Based Wyoming, the early years
In 2014 I built the first version of Evidence-Based Wyoming to analyze the votes of Wyoming legislators as they voted on legislative bills. Initially known as Evidence-Based Politics, Evidence-Based Wyoming was then first conceived as a mathematical science experiment that could be used to demonstrate and predict the voting proclivities of Wyoming legislators.
