http://voteview.gsia.cmu.edu

In 2000 the web-server was moved to the Department of Political Science at the University of Houston with the link:

http://voteview.uh.edu

In 2005 the web-server was moved to the Department of Political Science at the University of California, San Diego with the current link (voteview.com) with a backup server with the link:

http://voteview.ucsd.edu

This website is now affiliated with the Department of Political Science at the University of Georgia. It is maintained off campus solely for stability purposes.

The primary purpose of this website is to make available the data that Howard Rosenthal and Keith Poole generated out of their many research projects. Keith and Howard adhere to the policy that all of their datasets and software are made freely available to anyone who asks for them. This webserver was established for this purpose. If you cannot find what you need on the various pages send Keith an E-Mail at: ktpoole@uga.edu
