Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Mar 1897 to Jul 1898, Earle missed 36 of 40 roll call votes, which is 90.0%. This is much worse than the median of 33.9% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Jul 1898. The chart below reports missed votes over time.
We don’t track why legislators miss votes, but it’s often due to medical absenses and major life events.
