Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Aug 1890 to Mar 1891, McConnell missed 42 of 141 roll call votes, which is 29.8%. This is on par with the median of 35.4% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Mar 1891. 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.
