Sounds like it could be pretty cool. Will you be doing amendments as well as final votes?

Good question! While I believe a final vote is more important than an amendment to a bill, amendments are still useful in order to determinate if the senator is moderate, progressive, conservative for Atlasian standards. Indeed, amendments (to a bill) are often more partisan than the final vote.
So, what I plan to do for that: I give 1 point for an amendment to a bill, and 3 for the final vote! Any suggestion will obviously be welcome Tongue.

Something to keep in mind, there is the complication of the final vote before and after a presidential redraft.  If you score the redraft vote, it can be hard to determine whether to count it as a vote for the bill itself, or just for redrafting the bill, as these can suggest different ideological positions.

Hmmm, you raise a good point.
Since I plan to give 3 points for the final text. If there is a redraft, maybe giving 2 points for the final vote, and 1 point for the redraft vote???

What I mean is the intent behind a redraft vote itself is very hard to interpret. If I were doing it I would count only the pre-redraft vote.

Are you doing a separate foreign policy axis?
