From Dec 1899 to Mar 1905, McComas missed 73 of 378 roll call votes, which is 19.3%. This is better than the median of 29.4% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Mar 1905. 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.
