Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Feb 1944 to Sep 1944, Jackson missed 27 of 71 roll call votes, which is 38.0%. This is much worse than the median of 19.1% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Sep 1944. The chart below reports missed votes over time.
We don’t track why legislators miss votes, but it’s often due to medical absenses and major life events.
