Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Jan 1943 to Aug 1948, Buck missed 79 of 712 roll call votes, which is 11.1%. This is on par with the median of 9.0% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Aug 1948. 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.
