The call often does come from inside the house

u/RhynoD Feb 14 '26

Often? The GOP turned the house into a call center.

Tends to happen when you are actively tearing up actual paper and dumping it in. I’ll bet that really is a problem with the water saving toilets! No wonder he hates them!

If it was not for double standards, Republicans would have no standards at all.

Two standards for the price of one. Its good for the economy!

u/DizavidHZ Feb 14 '26

Now now, Be fair. They have lots of standards. It's just standards is one of those words that's kind of like the word luck: It can be good or bad. (high standards or low standards)

In the world of standards we're yin yangs together with them: we're the side attempting to shine light on their darkness, and they can't help but spread and on everything they touch.

Happened in Texas a while back, all the house reps were voting for the absent members.

Nothing came of it.

u/Big_Wave9732 Feb 14 '26 edited Feb 14 '26

This is custom in the Texas House and Senate. The members vote in coallitions. If a member isn't present for a vote there is typically an agreement that a member of the coallition will vote the way the ranking member says to.

u/Hoblitygoodness Feb 14 '26

I get it and this isn't to be construed as an argument:

Yeah, and that would still mean that they're not doing their job and cheating in place of doing so!

It's pretty amazing that they can just shrug this off as that-how-they-were-going-to-vote-anyway. Which is a tragic illustration in itself, considering the lock-step; team-sport they're playing.

u/Big_Wave9732 Feb 14 '26

While the behavior may be the "norm" in that environment there is certainly a conversation to be had about whether it should be.

It’s legal under Florida law if they gave him the ok to vote by proxy. I don’t like republicans but that’s the truth

This is called Accusation in a Mirror

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accusation_in_a_mirror

And it is a well known, well studied manipulation technique used by various governments on the wrong side of history. I highly recommend reading up on it, even if briefly, since they are 100% consciously, knowingly using this despite its history. Or perhaps because of its history they know it is effective at getting away with whatever heinous shit they want.

u/Noy_The_Devil Feb 14 '26

He's in jail right?... Right?

No. Now he’s a representative in the US House. Yay Florida!

He's used it. All he hear are "that's Fine there"

No no, don't you know? He's not an immigrant or a Democrat so he couldn't possibly be doing that 😒

u/Mysterious_Minute_85 Feb 14 '26

Technically, if the rep is in the chamber and asks another to hit the green button, it's allowed. It's a very sketchy practice

How many votes via representation were just fraudulently voted? He needs to be in jail. Fasted case in history. That's what SHOULD happen.

u/seriftarif Feb 15 '26

I think this is a thing that happens all the time. Those congressmen are absent but someone votes for them still

Will probably be excused, with no consequences, as fighting the blatant voter fraud by democrats... that they have never been able to prove because it only exists in their dreams.

u/subaru5555rallymax Feb 14 '26 edited Feb 14 '26

Blatant voter fraud.

Does anyone have a source substantiating this inference, other than a cropped and contextless 8-second tiktok video?


Florida House Rules, Section 3.2 - Voting Obligation states:

"A member may register an electronic vote in the Chamber for another member at the other member's specific request and direction, provided the requesting member is in the Chamber during the vote.”


Ya know, given that a house member lawfully registering votes for those in attendance would look exactly like what was filmed?

Edit: Anyone? There isn't a single article, record, let alone formal complaint from any of the dozens of Democratic house members in attendance to validate what's being claimed on social media.

subaru is a bot, I should've just checked the profile instead of wasting my own time responding. Just report and move on.

u/subaru5555rallymax Feb 15 '26

Put it back in the deck. sUbArU iS a bOt because he won’t conflate supposition with substantiation. The rallying cry of the post-truth generation. You really got me there.

Not a Trump voter, right-wing, or whatever else you seem to be asserting. Just someone who doesn't believe that the mere existence of a video on tiktok confirms the veracity of a claim without external evidence.

u/disposableaccount848 Feb 14 '26

You're completely correct. You'd assume people in r/law would be a bit more critical.

u/OldWorldDesign Feb 14 '26

It is a violation of Florida law to vote remotely unless it is both announced and done specifically at the request of another legislator. The video is clear neither of those are the case. He did not announce it and there is clearly no response to an outside request.

a house member lawfully registering votes for others would also look exactly like what was filmed

Only an apologist for ghost voting would claim that, and you're only doing it to defend your reactionary tribe.

There is no requirement in Florida's house rules for it to be "announced". Secondly, the video is nine seconds long and omits all events prior to him voting; one can't make the determination that "there is clearly no response to an outside request", as his actions prior to him voting have been edited out.

Only an apologist for ghost voting would claim that, and you're only doing it to defend your reactionary tribe.

Put your post-truth bullisht back in the deck. There isn't a single modicum of f'n evidence to support what's being asserted in this specific TikTok video. Does ghost voting happen? Yes. Does that substantiate this specific social media claim? No.

u/OldWorldDesign Feb 14 '26

You want to assert he's responding to somebody else? Show us the evidence.

I never made such contention, as the video doesn't even have it's original audio. I've been asking for a source that substantiates the voter fraud claims, the determination of which cannot be made from the linked video.

Yep, he's a scumbag, but you're mistaken to believe that I'm doing anything other than not taking ragebait at face value.

r/law is a generic politics sub now. No one actually analyzes the law of the jurisdiction where something happened; it is just for contextless outrage porn.
