From Dec 1835 to Mar 1843, Borden missed 558 of 1,908 roll call votes, which is 29.2%. This is on par with the median of 26.0% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 1843. 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.
