To quote from another article. "The 69-year-old Democratic incumbent has missed 71 percent of 77 floor votes since Labor Day. Washington media are reporting Rep. Carson is using a wheelchair to get around while in Washington. She has battled a number of ailments over her career including heart bypass surgery, high blood pressure, asthma and diabetes."

She is so ineffective, yet she keeps getting re-elected....I feel sorry for the people in her district that do not support her.

71 percent of 77 floor votes

71% of 77 votes is 54.67 votes. I assume you mean 71 out of 77 floor votes.

“The 69-year-old Democratic incumbent has missed 71 percent of 77 floor votes...”

Somewhat academic since the Congress has not done a blessed thing since they were sworn in back in January anyway.

This has been pretty consistent her entire career whether she was healthy or not.

The district was gerrymandered to elect a rodent, but we’ve contested it with Black Republicans since the ‘90s (it’s not a Black district, though).

The local media LITERALLY would not show a picture or sound-bite from her before the last election, AT ALL, to protect her image....

The Black Republican that ran against her was a good man, but couldn’t compete against the free box lunches for votes campaign...

This turd just won’t flush, and now another generation of Carson criminals is taking hold in Indianapolis.

Good riddence to all of them.

Indiana’s version of the TN’s Ford family.

While it is a shame that the good folks of Indiana are being cheated out of a voice in Washington, she’s what I would consider to be a docile democrat. She ain’t voting! One less check under the leftist D column as far as I’m concerned.

Sounds like she’s got a bad staph infection that isn’t responding to meds - could loose her leg

Much like Tim Johnson’s (RAT-SD) voting record. But some places just don’t mind it if they are not represented.
