From Dec 1883 to Jun 1894, Colquitt missed 1,119 of 2,129 roll call votes, which is 52.6%. This is much worse than the median of 34.9% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Jun 1894. The chart below reports missed votes over time.

We don’t track why legislators miss votes, but it’s often due to medical absenses, major life events, and running for higher office.
