From Jul 1789 to Mar 1791, Dalton missed 1 of 100 roll call votes, which is 1.0%. This is better than the median of 5.0% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Mar 1791. 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.
