Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Dec 1852 to Mar 1855, Dixon missed 558 of 671 roll call votes, which is 83.2%. This is much worse than the median of 25.9% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Mar 1855. The chart below reports missed votes over time.
We don’t track why legislators miss votes, but it’s often due to medical absenses and major life events.
