From Jul 1967 to Dec 1970, Goodell missed 208 of 716 roll call votes, which is 29.1%. This is much worse than the median of 14.5% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Dec 1970. 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.
