Here's something that's fairly interesting: From 1987 to 1996, most of the senators who had the lowest roll call records were Democrats. I wish I had more current numbers.
1) Joe Biden (D), 1988: 17%
2) Al Gore (D), 1987: 42%
3) Paul Simon (D), 1987: 42%
4) Al Gore (D), 1988: 57%
5) Joe Biden (D), 1987: 62%
6) Jesse Helms (R), 1992: 63%
7) David Kemp Karnes (R), 1988: 70%
8) Tom Harkin (D), 1992: 74%
9) Tom Harkin (D), 1991: 75%
10) Bob Kerrey (D), 1991: 77%

Al Gore's #4 was actually 1992. Sorry.

17%?? Is that how often they showed up or how often they were absent?

Helms was probably ill.
