Partisan voting is when a representative of constituents (the people who vote for the representative) votes on laws that are from their party and against the opposing party. The want to vote for laws that will oppose the party they aren't from.

It means they vote the way their party wants them to vote, not necessarily how they actually feel or how the people they represent feel.
