It was another week of wins and losses at the NH State House, and Transparency lost big time. You can get more details on that here if the urge strikes, for or purpose is different. We bring you news of Republicans who missed Roll Call votes and how many.
Reporting on attendance can sometimes rub people the wrong way, so last week, our data guy provided more context. We are providing two bits of information. Who missed roll call votes this week (at yesterday’s 3/21/24 session), and how many Roll Call votes they’ve missed all year?
Missing votes or having to be absent for a day is part of life, and constituents shouldn’t get too wound up about it. After all, if it’s that important, you should run and then get there for every vote. Missing a lot of votes is a … systemic problem.
Voting the wrong way on key votes is also a problem but that is not the purpose of this update. We’re looking for serial offenders and there are a handful.
Roll Called votes missed yesterday are on the left. Total Roll Called votes missed all year, on the right. The list is sorted by missed votes this week (on the left) so, for example, Travis O’Hara only missed ten roll call votes this week but has missed over 100 this year. He’s a bit further down the list as is Tony Piemonte (only missed 7 yesterday but 84 YTD).
