From Jun 1892 to Mar 1895, Hunton missed 167 of 710 roll call votes, which is 23.5%. This is better than the median of 34.9% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Mar 1895. 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.
