Why Not Fattah

Rep. Chaka Fattah has represented the 2nd Congressional district since 1995. In that period of time, he has been one of the most absent legislators in Congress and leading in missed votes of other legislators in the area.

To see a list of the votes he has missed over the years, almost 800, view this site by the Washington Post.

It isn't even an argument of voting on the right or wrong side of an issue. He just doesn't show up 10% of the time.
