Pelosi wants mail in voting but has resisted a similar practice for her

[Remodeling Maidiac]

So mail in voting is ok for the most important job on the planet but call in voting for the house is a problem....
Millions of Americans are under duress and the House needs to do their damn job. If they can force all of America to telework then they can do it too.

I'm kind of confused how Pelosi can fly back and forth between the West coast and the East coast when there is a SHUTDOWN!

Iirc there has to be a new House/Senate rule that allows members to vote via teleconference.

I'd like to take that a step farther: If they can do mail in voting for elections, why not electronic voting for all things regarding Congress? To be clear: I think the taxpayers should have the ability to vote on all things relating to the members in DC themselves rather than them vote on it themselves, such as whether representatives deserve a raise, whether they should get special healthcare or Obamacare, should get to leave early for Christmas, pensions, and many other issues. Let us make them accountable for their performance by putting it in the hands of the people they affect.

Beats voter suppression, many states have mail in voting, but the republicans would have a hard time suppressing the votes if all were mailed in (paper trail), but Rep. Mark Harris did anyway.

Moronic.

Dumb thread. Congress debates bills and amendments. A 435 person conference call isn’t practical.

Another example of confusion.

We should be able to vote online for term limits.

Those fuckwits vote for bills so they can find out what's in them.

Strange, I don't see any confirmation of the thread title. Was the point already abandoned in post #1?

We need a national, secure, voter database based upon Blockchain and ties into Social Security numbers and check against obituaries.
