Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Nov 1937 to Jan 1938, Graves missed 3 of 25 roll call votes, which is 12.0%. This is better than the median of 17.1% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Jan 1938. 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.
