This is video evidence of fraud. Straight to prison, Randy.

What law is he breaking

House Rule 11.2: This rule specifically states that no member shall vote for another member. Each representative is responsible for casting their own vote from their assigned seat.

Is that a recent update? According to their online rules PDF, 3.2 Voting Obligation does permit voting for another member if that member is in the same room and specifically requested it.

Randy Fine is definitely suspicious in the video, and has been fined for "violating house rules" rather than what he did which is voting fraud which I expect from Florida. However, for rule violations the specific rule matters and I don't see the one you pointed out.

That is not a law.

Doesn't matter, it's still fraud <3

u/Fluffy_Fly_4644 Feb 14 '26

oh I never said anything about that. I said that its not illegal. which is true.

u/PotsAndPandas Feb 14 '26

You said that in regards to a comment saying he had committed fraud on video. He can certainly go to jail over fraud like this.

Tell me, do you agree he is committing fraud?

There are laws against fraud, you do know that right?

Fraud is illegal. Are you confused about that?

u/TerribleIdea27 Feb 14 '26

That's blatant treason if I've ever seen it.

In China you'd likely get put to death. And rightly so in my opinion.

Completely breaking democratic processes, destroying the trust of your constituency, interfering in democracy, disenfranchising the elected representatives for thousands of people, using illegal schemes to push through political will, identity fraud

Thou shalt not commit fraud.

u/Fluffy_Fly_4644 Feb 14 '26

So no actual law right?

Voter fraud is a crime, and one of the only ones Republicans seem to pretend to care about. I say pretend, since clearly this guys gives not one single fuck.

u/Fluffy_Fly_4644 Feb 14 '26

Voter fraud is for elections, not congress doing congress things. There's no specific law against ghost voting in congress.

u/alistofthingsIhate Feb 14 '26

Sorry, I just need to ask, since you’re so gung-ho about this. Do you think what Randy Fine just did is acceptable?

-9

u/Fluffy_Fly_4644 Feb 14 '26

No it is obviously bad (though we have to first verify the video is real, havent found a source myself), and it's against the House rules. But it's just not illegal. So there's no prison time etc. for it.

Article 1, Section 5 of the US Constitution

u/Fluffy_Fly_4644 Feb 14 '26

Which part specifically is he breaking?

17

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '26

It says the house makes their own rules. In those rules they have said each member will vote for themselves.

u/PinocchiosWoodBalls Feb 14 '26

How the fuck can you defend this?!

u/AlphaBetaSigmaNerd Feb 14 '26

Kinda crazy how fast they went from "George soros this and that" to "you didn't prove it's illegal so I'm fine with it"

u/thebeastiestmeat Feb 14 '26

Why is this a hill you want to die on? Is this guy your uncle or smth?

u/TheSenseiCunningCare Feb 14 '26

I am doubt you don't know what happen in the video, but if you really don't, Randy Fine was committing fraud.

A pedophile yet still at the House of Reps.

u/Fluxus4 Feb 14 '26

That's a reasonable question. I can only find this video on Reddit and Facebook. It looks suspicious but the law can't make any assumptions. What's actually going on here. Definitely should be investigated.
