Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Apr 1929 to Mar 1931, McCormick missed 43 of 103 roll call votes, which is 41.7%. This is much worse than the median of 17.8% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 1931. 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.
