They would never make it so easy for the voting public to hold them accountable for their actions.

You can check the Senate/House Clerk docket on the website to see if they’ve published the roll call votes.

Alternatively, if you have the bill name/number, you can contact the appropriate clerk’s office and request a copy of the roll call vote.

The MA legislature is notorious for fighting against legislative voting transparency, so its certainly not as easy as it should be.

That would be helpful if I only cared about them voting “progressively” or “conservatively.” My political views are a little more nuanced—or should I say don’t align perfectly with the majority view of either party.

My area is going to elect a Democrat, so I’m not all that worried that the Mass legislature is going to be sending fake electors to certify the presidential election. What I’m looking for in my state reps is someone who wants more dense housing, safer streets where you can walk & bike, and improved transit.

Specifically I’m trying to learn about their votes on H.3931 about whether to require loosening zoning restrictions near MBTA stops.

That bill never made it to the floor for a vote so your legislators would only have voted on it if they served on the transportation committee for the 2019-2020 session (assuming there was an actual committee vote). A similar proposal passed as part of the economic development bill that session.
