Senate votes

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 799 roll calls, and the member matched their own party on 705. We pick no votes ourselves.

Senate votes come from Voteview. Lewis, Jeffrey B., Keith Poole, Howard Rosenthal, Adam Boche, Aaron Rudkin, and Luke Sonnet (2026). Voteview: Congressional Roll-Call Votes Database. https://voteview.com/
