Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Dec 1907 to Mar 1927, Carter missed 730 of 2,471 roll call votes, which is 29.5%. This is much worse than the median of 15.9% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 1927. 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.
