Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Dec 1891 to Mar 1901, Cox missed 273 of 1,171 roll call votes, which is 23.3%. This is better than the median of 31.7% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 1901. 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.
