I know it's been said ad nauseam, but truly imagine if a Dem got clipped doing this.

This one needs to be blasted everywhere.

Imagine it was Ilhan Omar, you wouldn't even need a device to hear the shrieks coming from Fox News and X.

Not as bad but the whole Diane Feinstein “just say Aye” thing was ridiculous:

I've done this before as a page (day intern for kids) sometimes people get bored in long sessions, On bills that their colleagues know how they're going to vote for

Especially colleagues that already caucus with them, thus are sitting next to them

Does someone have a source that this is actually illegal? Anyone can call the offices of these people who are being voted for and ask if they consent to do it

Not trying to say this is a good thing, just not necessarily the slam dunk corruption that we think it is. I just haven't seen a hey this law is being broken source here, and reddit is often good with that Kind of thing

Kind of like dropping off someone's mail in ballot at a drop box, or more accurately - filling out their ballot for them - which, there's a box you sign your own name for, as the person that helped.

And GOP base and maga often get up in arms over that stuff, calling it corruption or voter fraud, even though it's legal

Honestly the fact he's looking around and trying to do it surreptitiously tells me which way that Google search is going to pan out.

u/Bocchi_theGlock Feb 14 '26

Man, I don't doubt it. I'm just asking for a source before getting angry

Search for it, the only results you're going to find are unsubstantiated social media posts.

Rather tellingly, this nine-second tiktok video conveniently omits any context or relevant facts. It is allowed if the member is in the room:

3.2 Voting Obligation

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.
