在美国历史上的大部分时间里，国会唱名表决都是高度结构化的。该结构是通过对1789年至1985年整个唱名投票记录的动态空间分析来揭示的。空间的特点是一个占主导地位的主要维度，有时，一个重要的，但不太重要的第二个维度。在现代，空间位置非常稳定。这种稳定性是这样的，在某些条件下，唱名表决的短期预测是可能的。自第二次世界大战结束以来，国会投票模式的变化几乎完全是通过用新成员取代退休或失败的立法者的过程发生的。在政治上，选择远比适应重要。
Congressional roll call voting has been highly structured for most of U.S. history. The structure is revealed by a dynamic, spatial analysis of the entire roll call voting record from 1789 to 1985. The space is characterized by a predominant major dimension with, at times, a significant, but less important second dimension. In the modern era, spatial positions are very stable. This stability is such that, under certain conditions, short run forecasting of roll call votes is possible. Since the end of World War II, changes in congressional voting patterns have occurred almost entirely through the process of replacement of retiring or defeated legislators with new members. Politically, selection is far more important than adaptation.
