Nancy Pelosi extended the controversial proxy voting capability until October 1, allowing more time for abuse.
"In light of the attached notification by the Sergeant-at-Arms, in consultation with the Office of Attending Physician, that a public health emergency is in effect due to a novel coronavirus, I am hereby extending the “covered period” designated on January 4, 2021, pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, until October 1, 2021."
Proxy voting has been in place in the House for members to use for over a year.
Proxy voting was only supposed to be in effect for 45 days during the height of the pandemic, so members could cast votes without risking travel.
Since then, Pelosi has continuously extended the capability, which some members have found ways to abuse:
Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL) used the proxy vote, saying he could not vote in Congress but was able to attend the space launch. Rep. Thomas Suozzi (D-NY) used proxy voting after admitting he wanted to return home and spend time with family since it would be “would only be suspension vote.” Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME), in order to save Pelosi’s partisan Capitol security funding bill, switched to proxy voting after saying he would not due to“family responsibilities.” Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI), Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), and Rep. Dan Kildee (D-MI), members of the Member of Michigan’s Democrat delegation, claimed they were proxy voting due to the “ongoing public health emergency,” but were able to attend President Biden’s visit to their state. Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI), Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI), amd Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI), all members of the Member of Wisconsin’s Democrat Congressional delegation, were found to be abusing their proxy voting privilege, some using it to take off early on the last day of voting for a possible long weekend.

the “novel coronavirus” is a euphemism
for the DNC-CCP GOF Bioweapon(s).
Americans mask:
why can she continue to benefit from the crime
she has committed?
I think ANYONE should be allowed to vote in The House, since the Dems think ANYONE should be able to vote in elections.
can proxy voting be challenged in court??
I still don’t GET why it’s up to HER
My ideal: that someone with standing challenges the Pelosi proxy voting scheme in court and the judge rules it unconstitutional and directs all proxy votes taken null and void.
I know - living in a world of fantasy!!
When the king is crowned will he put to the sword these people?
