Missed Votes
From Dec 1843 to Feb 1844, Frick missed 51 of 137 roll call votes, which is 37.2%. This is much worse than the median of 23.5% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Feb 1844. 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.
