That would need to be backed up with specific evidence that she’d missed a lot of votes, etc.

Keep in mind a lot of State Legislatures aren’t in session that long.

There are people that spend enormous amounts of time in church activities - should they be attacked for that?

I'm not attacking anyone, just speaking to what I would look for in an officeholder or some other position of authority. It has nothing to do with missing votes.

I would want an officeholder to be someone engaged with their constituents, the issues, their family, a business owner, the community, with hobbies that build useful skills and/or involve real social interaction and personal improvement. I would put learning to play guitar, the shooting sports, reading, and investing in a group activity like a church family in that category; massive amounts of gaming I would not.

I say this as a gamer who worked as a tester in the industry and enjoy them. But there's a difference between enjoying a fine cigar every now and then and being a chain smoker.

If I was looking for someone to run my business or represent me in a political manner, I'd pick the guy or gal who played in a band, spoke several languages, or spent a lot of time with his church groups over the guy who played WoW for dozens of hours per month and had achieved level whatever in some fantasyland.
