UpInTheHills NancyPelosi needs to be put out to pasture.

UpInTheHills About time GOP think outside the box and put and end to this lunacy once and for all. I also expect all Republicans to start working as hard as realDonaldTrump ! LindseyGrahamSC GOPLeader

delong_allison House GOP to file lawsuit against Pelosi to stop proxy voting. House will vote on web. We need have right to vote also. We are not representative. but Illegal immigrants can have illegal right to elect the president, and we also have right with representative to vote in house.

Rupert Murdoch is an idiot

Wow. Trump is seriously running scared

Nancy this Nancy

Because clearly, the framers would have considered videoconferencing an abomination and witchcraft. And let's not forget where the Constitution banned proxy voting, which WAS around in 1789. I'm sure it's in there somewhere...

So, it is a conspiracy by the GOP to expose Americans needlessly to the coronavirus and other diseases? Has the WH been purposefully spreading COVID-19? Why?

That would about sum up Republicans. R's are increasingly a minority power who will do anything to stay in control even if it means the demise of our democracy.

the maj of the house will decide,,not the minority/.it is a vote by mail,,no wonder the gop house are getting scared/.

Just another distraction and power-play by the ComplicitCorruptGOP and GOPLeader They are going down fast with Trump and they know it. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica2020

An interesting case. You'd think that existing continuity of government procedures (in the event of terrible emergencies) would already have thought this through and that there are opinions that have been settled for many decades about this.

More votes = Bad for Republicans, now they need to justify such actions.

Yes, HOW DARE our government even attempt to move into the 21st century?! Ludicrous. And why aren't they still using parchment paper and fountain pens/inkwells when taking notes in the chamber?

Republicans are so afraid right now.

Safety doesn't work alone. I think SpeakerPelosi plan is on point, everyone's voices are heard, everyone's vote counts and most importantly this keeps our elected officials safe from Coronavirus! It's common sense, you would think that it would be embraced by the SenateGOP!

The GOP chipping away at democracy one lawsuit at a time.

Trump & the Republicans are perversely more afraid of voting than the Coronavirus.

Smh

Good. It’ll be wrought with fraud. Inherently flawed and will be intentionally and institutionally abused.

Republicans literally HATE America......so sad. RepublicansHateAmerica

I approve. I don't like the idea of giving government too much power, even though I understand the need for decisive action during an emergency. It's a tough line to walk

Rediculous,Trying Everything to win,Lie,Cheat,Buy People!Threaten,Etc, Etc

Whatever will SpeakerPelosi do when you drag her away from her ice cream?

I wonder why the GOP isn’t just working together to help ensure this system works. While we have time to plan.
