Probably unconstitutional.

Not much different from voting in graveyards.

"Time for hackers to show them voting straight conservative on every vote.

Dems have that figured out already. They're the bean counters now. Even if we win in the corrupted elections they can still win on the floors of congress
We're so screwed

Unconstitutional. The Dems are shredding the law.

Can they be hanged “remotely” too?
Or is that a “pay-per-view” event only.

Seems to me that this runs counter to our Constitution. If I am correct, would this not mean that ANT and ALL legislation passed in this manner be Null and Void from the very beginning?

I would be willing to bet that every single one of them has been to a store, Walmart, gas station or otherwise. Yet they are “afraid” to go back to work.

Pathetic.

There’s an app for that...

Seriously, voting from your district congressional office would be better. I’d like to get our elected officials out of the DC Swamp, and back in the districts they serve. In fact, I’d like a rule that requires them to spend EVERY DAY the congress is in session, IN THEIR DISTRICT. Screw all the back room deals, lunches, dinners, golf, shows, games, trips, gifts, cushy jobs for family and friends, etc that lobbyists “spread around” the swamp. They can meet a few times a year in DC, but make them live among those they represent. As is, they are fully accessible to lobbyists, while their electorate is shut out. We the People are no longer represented.

These reps are preparing us to accept Biden ruling from his nursing home.

For years, if you recall, the Left blasted Dick Cheney for “governing the country” from an “undisclosed location”.

Fast forward to the Obamanation...

Does this mean I get to go to the office of my congress critter to see them vote?

Since most states have started to open up, our congress critters should be in their office, after all, normal people are now required to show back up at the office.

Call-in votes should only count as 1/2 of a vote.

How about 3/5 of a vote?

Imagine a congress critter casting a vote against the interest of his district, knowing he is going to have to face the crowd standing outside his door. And his next door neighbors, the pizza delivery guy, the cashier at the grocery store, the waitress that serves his dinner, the bartender, his kids teachers and coaches, etc. Instead, they rub albows with the powerful and get rich in the swamp, and rarely mingle with the little people.

I hope that this backfires on the rats. I hold my congress critter accountable for his vote and those of my Senators.

Rats want to vote from home, then make it available to the people who are their boss - The Voters.

I want to watch them, just like I was in DC. I pay rent on their offices in my district, then I demand to see them face to face and accountable for their vote.

Who needs movie theatres? We have our congress critters to watch for entertainment.
