With the final day of the session past us, it is time to reminisce (cue misty dream sequence) about the past few months. We’ve been sharing – to the dismay of some – a weekly list of Republicans who missed roll call votes (and how many). Today, we have two lists. The Republicans voted in every roll call and then the full house.
Democrats, Independents, and Republicans are sorted by the total number of roll call votes missed from worst to best. We do not have a list of Dems who never missed a Roll Call. Some smarmy Dem site can do that work.
This does not mean the perfect Republicans didn’t miss votes (these are just Roll Calls), and as we’ve noted repeatedly, Reps in a civilian legislature are likely to miss some votes. People work, they get sick, crap comes up – life happens. Our purpose is not so much to shame but to remind you that when you have a razor-thin majority, you are going to lose good bills and fail to stop bad ones and showing up matters.
A greater majority helps and there are reps on the list who missed so many votes that it’s not a stretch to place some blame at their feet. Anyone in triple digits probably needs to be replaced (primaried), but since registering to run closed last Friday, that’ll be difficult. Write-ins can work in rare instances, but it’s a lot of work.
In our defense, the poor attendance folks have been poor for months, so we all knew who they were weeks ago.
The Lists
We have two lists. First, the “perfect” Republicans. These Reps are not perfect, but they did vote in every roll call, which—I will remind you—isn’t always a good thing. There are at least a few Republicans who vote the Democrat line too often and some on key bills, and that presence is not favorable to individual liberty or human freedom in those cases. You can look at their voting records when in doubt.
So, here we go.
Here are the kids who never miss class, with our own Judy Aron at the top (it’s alphabetical). And remember, if you get to totals of 20 or less for the year, that’s probably only one full session day or part of it.

We appreciate you being in a position to be there every time, but not everyone can, and that’s not a dig. But (again), as noted above, some people have a very hard time getting to Concord on Session Day, and they are not all Republicans. Here is the master list for missed roll call votes, both parties, sorted by votes missed (including two independents who are not very dependable).
