Indiana has the country's third most conservative state legislature, a new study claims.
The Center for Legislative Accountability, organized by the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Foundation and the American Conservative Union Foundation, released its annual analysis Tuesday.
The center examined votes from each state legislature — more than 265,000 individual votes on 3,500 different bills — during 2021. It then ranked each state legislature based on how frequently each body's lawmakers voted for the position the center deemed conservative.
Indiana came in third, with 73% of lawmakers' votes cast for conservative positions.
