Study: Republicans dominate tech votes

    Republican politicians trounced their Democratic rivals in a roundup

    released on Monday of congressional votes that were favorable to the

    technology industry.

    The scorecard, compiled by the Information Technology Industry
Council
    (ITIC) and published in time for next month's elections, graded each

    member of Congress on their votes over the last two years on
computer
    security, Internet taxes and free trade. [...]

    The trade association released only a list of how individual
    politicians voted, but an analysis performed by CNET News.com shows
    that House Republicans voted in accordance with the tech industry's
    views 89 percent of the time, compared with just 43 percent of the
    time for Democrats.

    In the Senate, the partisan difference was not as prominent, but the

    same pattern emerged. [...]
