Voting Record

Missed Votes

From Mar 1879 to Mar 1912, Bingham missed 2,333 of 4,530 roll call votes, which is 51.5%. This is much worse than the median of 28.1% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 1912. 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.
