I seem to recall a proxy of some kind being given to a Pub senator by, IIRC, Ted Stevens, who was ill.

Riddick's rules recite a requirement to vote from the desk. They further recite that a UC request, that a vote be recorded for a Senator not present, is not in order. The chair is specifically prohibited from entertaining a UC requrest t add the name of a Senator to a vote after the result of that vote has been announced.

Is the vote still scheduled for 3:30?
