Missed Votes
From Dec 1873 to Mar 1879, Glover missed 315 of 1,179 roll call votes, which is 26.7%. This is on par with the median of 22.6% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 1879. 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.
