How these are counted

Missed is Not Voting divided by every roll call the member was listed on, including quorum calls and procedural votes. It covers any absence, including illness and leave.

Party split: a roll call counts when the Democratic majority and the Republican majority voted opposite ways. That was 467 roll calls, and the member matched their own party on 461. We pick no votes ourselves.
