What is the easiest way to find out who voted against this bill so I can put them in my "don't vote for these people" list?

I found this site which is for nation-wide tallies of how (state) representatives voted: https://openstates.org/about/subscriptions/

It's free to subscribe. But - IMO - it is likely that the OpenStates.org site monetizes the subscriber data somehow.

As far as CA-specific 'follow what a piece of legislation is doing' there's this site from the California state government: https://www.assembly.ca.gov/informationtohelpyoufollowthepro...

It’s required by California state law to post all bills online along with associated vote tallies in committee and floor votes. The vote types are as follows:

- Ayes (in favor), - Noes (against), - and No Vote Recorded (NVR; the equivalent of abstaining).

Looks like the [most recent committee vote referred in the article for SB 8](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billVotesClient.xht...) is not online but will likely be by mid week.

Strange how those votes take so long to tabulate and get online, so complex. Totally not to let things get out of the news cycle /s
