In the blogging business, if someone is complaining, there’s a good chance you’re doing something worthwhile, especially when the unhappy people are in government. Reporting roll call vote attendance has had its fair share of negative responses, suggesting we must keep doing them.
I think we will publish the entire list for the entire House next week so you can examine both sides and make your own conclusions.
This week, the final day of the regular session, Republicans listed a few good bills because of attendance, so without further exposition from me, here we go.
Note from the data guy: “Lots of Republicans missing, very few roll call votes. More than a few were lopsided for or against and were not affected by missing Reps. Lots of division votes, but can’t tell how many might have been lost due to missing Reps.”
Added: Column one shows roll call votes missed on the session date (in this case, 6-13-24). The column on the far right shows the total number of roll call votes missed (by reps who missed voted on 6/13) for the full session.
