I watched the entire thing on C-SPAN. House members first voted for an amendment and then voted for the censure. Both times the chairman or speaker took an oral vote first and said it was his ‘opinion’ that the amendment passed and that the vote for censure failed. Both times he was proven wrong and by a very wide margin. It’s amazing how the rules allowed for that bastard to try and hijack the vote based on his ‘opinion’ when he was clearly lying both times.

Have you never watched the proceedings on the floor of the house?

They ALWAYS ask for the yeas and nays. Then state their opinion and when someone ask for a recorded vote, they vote “electronically”.
