Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Sep 1814 to May 1830, Barbour missed 229 of 1,142 roll call votes, which is 20.1%. This is worse than the median of 14.6% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in May 1830. 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.
