Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Mar 1845 to Jul 1850, Corwin missed 151 of 866 roll call votes, which is 17.4%. This is on par with the median of 19.0% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Jul 1850. 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.
