A Democrat from Maryland just voted seven times on legislation in Congress. This is NOT what the Founders had in mind when they created representative democracy.


The Democrats are getting ready for vote by mail in November's general election.

If voting from home is permitted in Congress, is anyone really ever absent?

Is Congress ever really in recess?

Can you filibuster from home now? Phone it in?

First proxy vote EVER. I don’t think there was a proxy vote in 1789.

How did a democrat vote 7 times?

Trump had a booming economy and Joe Biden is in decline. The Democrats only hope in November is to steal the election through mail-in voting. I don’t think the virus was originally created for this, but the Democrats clearly now hope to keep everyone at home so that mail-in voting is the only “sensible” course of action.

But stuff like this, and recent examples of voter fraud within the states, make it really clear that we cannot let them get their way. They have a strategy to steal the election. We need to blow that strategy out of the water.

Read the article, what does it mean? 1 Dem voted for himself and, by proxy, for 6 fellow Dems? That is less sensational than ‘voted 7 times’.

Democrat Party = CCCP

They don’t bother to hide it any more no wonder so many of them are friends with China and their bonus round is they get money from them.

What’s even more hilarious is they are all wearing bandanas and other worthless “masks”.

We could ask, how does the Sergeant At Arms know it’s them?

The senate should refuse to consider the legislation as unconstitutional.

I can't see how anything voted on in this manner can be considered valid, it flies in the face of proper representation.

The article is unclear if the congress person from Maryland voted in stead of other representatives from her state, or representatives from other states--that would clearly be illegimate.

Time to disband the buildings in DC...send Congress members and their staff back to their HOME districts...so they can represent their constituents...and not centralized Lobbyists.

I thought the Constitution required presence on the Congressional floor to vote. That is why a Congressman cannot be arrested as a ploy to prevent his vote.

And aside from “exploding”, EXACTLY what is being done to put an end to these CONTINUING assaults on our Constitution by the emboldened Commies?

Not one damned thing that I can see. Am I missing something?

McConnel needs to announce the Senate will not act on any matter passed by the house using proxy voting.

We need a list of the tyrants who could not be bothered to vote. McCarthy is right; anything passed by the Fake Congress is not valid. An invalid law MUST be ignored and denounced.

President Trump still has his veto pen.
