This is the weakest argument I have ever seen, on any topic, literally ever. Do we think the proxy votes won't be recorded with the names of the actual voters?https://twitter.com/GOPLeader/status/1261360582063603712 …

I love how we also act like whipping isn’t a thing and somehow everyone is independently voting their conscience in the first place lol

The burden of persuasion - forcing a move - matters. Period. Especially in politics!

Should there be a time where forgery of elected officials-signatures and their names being used and signed by different people or hired-staff to be something to be wary about happening?

I can't see how. IMO there is no different, representatives have a team of people that help them make decisions. It doesn't matter who pushes the button. It's the representatives job to get it right. If they don't they get voted out. If they can't control their team, they are out

I think the issue is that there is no dispute resolution mechanism. Someone proxy votes for someone else, but doesn't actually do their will. Bill passes. Person who's vote wasn't faithfully executed sees the record and disputes in media. Now what?

Couldn't a video recording be made of their vote?

It takes away the dynamism of Congressional in-person debate & the pressure of the electorate. Pelosi will begin with all votes under her proxy power, and individual members will be place-holder drones. You can call your Rep all day long, to no avail. Nancy votes as she wishes.

Scott, normally I agree with you, but it goes completely against the will of the people. It literally hands over power of 200+ congressional districts who didn't even vote for Nancy Pelosi over to her. Pelosi literally controls the entire House, officially. It's tyranny.

Now apply your logic to November. As long as there is a verified " voter id" thats their own vote. Thank you for speaking out for voter ID laws.
