I’m not detecting any logic here. If we were short the votes, would a present vote help?
No, would NOT help at all! This is garbage.
It means that Daines does not have to miss his daughter’s wedding since her vote will not change the tally.
The -itch is trying to have it both ways. Because she has no character, she would vote no on Kavanagh, but she thinks she won’t get the backlash if she votes present instead and is using Danes “issue” to try to make it seem like she is helping another senator. She is as corrupt as they come and as far as I am concerned, is not to be trusted ever.
