Thursday is session day, and if you missed Judy Aron’s round-up this morning, make a note to check that out (right after you’ve finished looking to see if your rep missed any roll call votes or if they missed a lot of them).
Each week, we will publish a list of Republican members of the House and … a note about missed votes. We make no distinction for why just that they were missed. I know that Rep. Moffett is out of state for some reason, for example, so he missed all 23 roll call votes yesterday. I’ll also add that after the original announcement about posting these numbers, I got a bit of pushback.
I’m sure your constituents will understand. Gould, O’Hara, and Trottier’s, on the other hand … https://t.co/57LZQuoMQM

I’m not publishing this to pick nits over legitimate absences. As I explained to readers in the original piece,
We’re not telling you what to do with this information or that, in some cases, a “republican” Rep. missing a vote isn’t good for Republican priorities, just that they’ve missed …roll call votes, you should know this, and can pursue that with them if that’s how you roll (including a thank you to reps who always find a way to be there when it matters).
This is a volunteer citizen legislature (working for less than peanuts, but we want to keep it that way). But when your majority is razor thin, and you find the Democrats, who are in the same attendance situation as their Republican counterparts, patiently working the system to kill good bills and advance bad ones because of attendance issues, that’s a damn significant problem worth investigating.
There are always exceptions, but then there are those in Republican districts who cannot be bothered and should be encouraged to let someone who can make it replace them this November. Or, maybe that primary opponent can use the attendance information to help them remove that reluctant Rep. via the ballot box.
The List(s)
Here is this week’s missed roll call: Roll Call! – The total number of Missed Roll Call Votes for March 7th.
One more note: A reader suggested we publish these each week, and below this week’s update is a list of reps with perfect attendance (a reader asked for that, too).
