Voting Record

From Jan 1947 to Oct 1964, Riehlman missed 60 of 1,759 roll call votes, which is 3.4%. This is worse than the median of 2.3% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Oct 1964. 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.
