There is also talk that Republican senators may choose a secret ballot so their voting base will not know how each member voted.

If they do that the party is over. It’s already floundering after House leaders Kevin McCarthy and Liz Cheney blamed President Trump for the violence in the US Capitol on January 6th.

Secret vote? Hell no.

[KC_Lion]

Pure adulterated cowardice.

[cgbg]

Secret ballot is an excellent idea.

That way we can assume _every_ Republican is a Quisling.

Make our day!

[srmanuel]

Start the trial whenever you want...but absolutely not on a secret vote, if you want to vote to convict Trump have enough balls to stand up and be counted, not some pussy afraid of the voters....

[JWNM]

If Republican Senators ask for a secret ballot we can only assume that they ALL vote for it and act toward them accordingly. Vote them ALL out.

[Spirit of Liberty]

Then they’ll all be voted out. I don’t care how they performed in the past.....OUT!

[madison10]

Okay fine, we will assume they ALL voted for impeachment.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Will Dominion machines be used?

[AnglePark]

Idiots. Just approving a secret ballot will tell constituents all we need to know. The GOP is so finished.

[a fool in paradise]

How can the Senate delay this?

Isn’t the job of the Senate to work on impeachment when they receive the papers from the House?

This is a sham.

[moovova]

Then they’re ALL guilty by default.

[Eleutheria5]

If you look back to find out, you may turn into a pillar of salt.

[central_va]

But but but we need to save the GOP and take it over. No new party because they don’t work. / sarcasm

[SE Mom]

WTH?? Secret ballot? NOOOOOOO.

[Red Badger]

If they do ask, we will know...................................

[a fool in paradise]

110 Senators (not including Kamala Harris) will be shown to have voted for it at 3AM (48 against it at 10PM the night before).

[CatOwner]

Vote out? How? We’ve seen the vote counting process is controlled by forces we are either unable or refuse to confront. {remainder of response self-edited due to forum rules}

[goodnesswins]

If it’s secret I will assume all those voting no will go public

[Kickass Conservative]

They can use Dominion Machines to Tally the Vote.

The Vote will be 115 to 0 for Conviction.
