    2%of campaign money from small donors

    How the 53% is calculated: the equal-weight average of Speech & civil liberties 50% (2 votes), Israel & Gaza 10% (10 votes), War powers 100% (2 votes). Higher means more often casting the scored vote: against military aid to Israel without new conditions and against ICC sanctions, for blocking arms sales, for requiring Congress to authorize war, and for civil liberties. Each area (Israel & Gaza, war powers, speech & civil liberties) counts equally, so the score is an average of areas, not the share of all listed votes.
