Hutchison, Cornyn Continue To Cast Party Line Votes More Than 90 Percent Of The Time

U.S. Senators Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn have continued their trends of voting with the Republican Party more than 90 percent of the time in the Senate this year, according to the Voting Study for the 110th Congress conducted by the newspaper Roll Call.

Hutchison voted with the Republican Party 94 percent of the time while her colleague, Junior Senator John Cornyn voted with his party 97 percent of the time.
