From Jan 1892 to Mar 1894, White missed 105 of 316 roll call votes, which is 33.2%. This is on par with the median of 34.9% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Mar 1894. 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.
