Missed votes that could have changed the result

Votes Brittany Pettersen missed where the members who didn't vote outnumbered the margin. "Their side lost" means most of their party voted on the losing side.

  • Absences could have flipped it Their side lost Nov 10, 2026 · House #317
    Impeaching Peter Brian Hegseth, Secretary of Defense, for high crimes and misdemeanors
    On Motion to Refer · H.Res. 1655

    It passed 211–204 with 11 Democrats and 7 Republicans not voting. The losing side was 7 votes short and 11 of its members didn't vote: with them it would have failed 211–215. But the winning side's absences offset that: with everyone there, the result would have stood (218–215).
