From Dec 1827 to Mar 1845, Barnard missed 809 of 2,554 roll call votes, which is 31.7%. This is worse than the median of 23.5% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 1845. 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.
