House Republicans Sue To Block Proxy Voting In The Chamber

A lawsuit was filed against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to block proxy voting, which was temporarily allowed due to the coronavirus pandemic. The new rules permit a member to vote on behalf of up to ten colleagues. Republicans, led by Kevin McCarthy, argue that proxy voting is unconstitutional and dilutes individual voting power. Pelosi criticized the lawsuit as a delay tactic. At least 63 House Democrats plan to vote by proxy.
