Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Dec 1887 to Jun 1910, Daniel missed 1,636 of 3,065 roll call votes, which is 53.4%. This is much worse than the median of 26.1% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Jun 1910. 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.
