Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Feb 1958 to Aug 1958, Hoblitzell missed 46 of 200 roll call votes, which is 23.0%. This is much worse than the median of 6.6% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Aug 1958. 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.
