Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Jan 1801 to Mar 1801, Hindman missed 10 of 39 roll call votes, which is 25.6%. This is much worse than the median of 15.7% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Mar 1801. 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.
