Chris McDaniel has been so busy pontificating on Facebook about his political courage that he hasn’t had time to read legislation being considered by the state senate – or so he told Y’all Politics when they asked him to explain his Obama-like habit of voting “present” 75 times since 2016.
Below is a sampling of bills McDaniel voted “present” on. They vary in length from under one (1) page all the way, way, way, up to nearly eight (8) pages.
