Missed Votes

From Mar 1859 to Jul 1884, Anthony missed 2,324 of 8,018 roll call votes, which is 29.0%. This is on par with the median of 32.0% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Jul 1884. 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.
