From Nov 1903 to Aug 1913, Harrison missed 351 of 883 roll call votes, which is 39.8%. This is on par with the median of 32.2% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Aug 1913. 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.
