This article builds on Matthews and Stimsons (1975) study of legislative cue taking, analyzing the extent to which legislators sitting next to each other influence each others voting behavior. Data come from three decades of roll call votes in the California Assembly, a chamber in which each member is paired with a deskmate. By comparing deskmate pairs with nondeskmate pairs, I find that legislators vote identically to their deskmates on a sizeable subset of roll calls. This deskmate effect appears to remain strong even as a rival influence, legislative partisanship, increases in strength. Adapted from the source document.

Examines the cue selection process, and assumes that choosing a cue-source is functional and designed to help legislators accomplish their goals. Argues that intense policy preferences predispose legislators to seek cues from policy specialists, while those who believe that an issue is salient to their district will be more likely to seek cues from sources who can provide information about the district's preferences.
