*These members do not have scores for 2011 because they missed more than half of the rated votes in an issue area.

NOTE: House members with the same composite scores are tied in rank. The lowest rank in the House is 420th on the liberal scale and 411th on the conservative scale because members who missed more than half of the rated votes in any of the three issue categories do not receive composite scores, and because of ties.
