  Comments:
"steamroller voting" is an extremely rare collocation in English (google).  Hard to imagine where this would be useful. 

images that come back in a news search seem to suggest that [politics] is appropriate.

Never heard "steamrollering", but oxford confirms a North American often wouldn't. 

"steamrolled the measure" 2 google hits; "The GOP dominated Senate steamrolled the measure through by a 22-11 vote "
"steamrollered the measure" 5 google hits House of Commons Hansard Debates: "steamrollered the measure through the House before the general election"
"railroaded the measure" 27 hits

Googits are of course inaccurate, so who's to say.  I could scroll for a while on all of these though:
"steamrolled the bill" 4400
"steamrollered the bill" 2500
"railroaded the bill" 6500

eijiro prefers "railroaded" for all its verbal glosses (about 7 of them).
