Voting Record

Missed Votes

From Jan 1906 to Mar 1925, La Follette missed 1,294 of 3,608 roll call votes, which is 35.9%. This is worse than the median of 22.9% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Mar 1925. 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.
