[consulting] Legislative Bill Tracking with Drupal

[Moshe Weitzman]

I would make the bill a node, each legislator a user, and the votes will be
vote up/vote down or rsvp or similar. See
http://drupal.org/project/voteupdown. You might provide a 'switch user'
block for the admins to switch and record a new vote. Or just do some excel
import.
