WE GOT HIM

Wait, so a congress man can show up with two voting cards, and they go ā€œyeah you have two votes I guess, whatever.ā€?

No itā€™s like Wargames where you have one for the left and one for the right hand. Small wingspans have struggled with this.

AFAIK, thereā€™s no human monitoring the machines. You just stick your card in the device and select your vote. They might have upgraded (doubtful), but I found this picture of what they looked like in 2018

Does each representative have their own machine? And does the card only work in their machine? Seems like someone would have seen who went over to Donaldā€™s machine and started pushing buttons.

Thatā€™s actually one of the new ones that they installed in 2018.

It sounds like there are 50 machines in the House.

No Bastard option?

No. There are multiple machines throughout the chamber (like @NotBruceZ said, Iā€™ve read that 50 is the number), but not one machine per member and my understanding is that any card works on any/all of the machines.

ETA: iā€™d think theyā€™d be able to tell who used the machine right before the Donald vote, but I donā€™t have any actual knowledge of how that part of the system works. Also, Iā€™m guessing this isnā€™t the first time that the card has been given to a ā€œproxyā€ so they might not be incentivized to investigate too hard.

Proxy voting should be legal but the Republicans didnā€™t want that, unless theyā€™re the ones who want to vote proxy.

Anybody gaf what this lady has to say?

The only way I would care about her opening her mouth is if she imitated Budd Dwyer.

Hey, I just post 'em. I donā€™t (usually) explain 'em.

Heyyyyyyy mannnnn, niiiiiiice shot

Video in the post. He just pauses and comes back to, speaking but clearly out of it.

I was just coming to post this. I donā€™t get why people are such fucks that nobody goes to help him. Someone eventually slides a glass of water to him. Hopefully Iā€™m just being cynical and someone called for a medic. Yeah, letā€™s all just watch this guy have a stroke or something.
