@adamboche, if I look at the description files here: http://adric.sscnet.ucla.edu/rollcall/ I see a column called result. Do we have this field, can we regurgitate it in some way for our front page?

For recent congresses, there is a field called vote_result. I'm not sure if
there's a way to do this for earlier congresses. For rollcalls that have
it, vote_result can be like 'Passed' or something else, like with
{'question': 'On the Motion to Table', 'vote_result': 'Motion to Table
Agreed To'}

Thanks adam, we now replace (passed) and (failed) with vote_result where available and fall back on (passed) or (failed) based on a simple majority.
It may still be worth building a dictionary of if "cloture" in question then (passed) if support > 60 or something so I'm going to leave this issue open.

I'm not sure we should rely on simple majority. The rule will depend on the
specific vote, and we probably don't want to present information that's
wrong.
Jeff, do you have thoughts on this?

Right. We can't count on majorities particularly for the senate. At the
same time, I am not sure we have what we need to figure out passage for
the older votes.

Okay, that is definitely the best choice. We always display the yea and nay counts and only the result if it is in vote_result in the database. Inferring passage on older votes from the question could be opened as a new issue as an enhancement if we wish.
