What do these numbers mean?
- Missed votes:
- the share of roll call votes held while they were in office where they’re recorded as not voting.
- Votes with party:
- on votes where they voted yes or no, how often they sided with most of their party. Independents are compared with the party they caucus with. Neither number says whether a vote was right.
