Recorded votes
Robert Sprague cast 1,925 Yea or Nay votes on the roll calls we hold, across 4 terms from 2011 to 2018, all in the Ohio General Assembly, from the Ohio Legislature. Each term opens to every roll call, with the question, the result, how Robert Sprague voted and how the majority of their party voted.
| Term | Chamber | Yea | Nay | Did not vote | With party |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 132nd General Assembly, 2017–2018 | Ohio House, district 83 | 340 | 3 | not recorded | 100% of 39 |
| 131st General Assembly, 2015–2016 | Ohio House, district 83 | 328 | 10 | not recorded | 97% of 34 |
| 130th General Assembly, 2013–2014 | Ohio House, district 83 | 575 | 22 | not recorded | 98% of 159 |
| 129th General Assembly, 2011–2012 | Ohio House, district 76 | 601 | 46 | not recorded | 98% of 213 |
"With party" counts only roll calls on which most Republicans and most Democrats voted opposite ways. The Ohio Legislature records who voted Yea and who voted Nay and no one else, so an absence cannot be told from an abstention and neither is counted; only floor votes are listed.
