House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday the House of Representatives won't implement remote voting anytime soon despite growing concern from bipartisan members that in-person voting is dangerous given the deadly coronavirus pandemic.
"Our rules are our best protection," Pelosi told reporters Thursday when asked about modifying how the House votes. "... If the rules need to be changed, that has to be done carefully."

Remote Voting = Obamacare Redux. It is good enough for the general public, but not for the Congress. Got it.

Now I may safely assume there is no danger whatever to meeting together in groups greater than ten people since these desiccated old farts dare bring their august bodies into an assembly hall for the purpose of screwing us over once again. Gimme my hat; I'm going to church Sunday!

'We aren't there yet" translates to: DemocRATS haven't yet figured out a way to screw it up to their advantage.

Nasty Nancy knows voting in person with ID makes it more difficult to cheat....that's why she supports citizens voting by mail and ballot harvesting, but the House needs to vote in person.

Remote voting means she can't twist arms and force these nitwits to follow her over the cliff.

Why don’t you just vote for them, Nasty?
Like Hitler said, once the people have voted and thus decided why make them decide over and over again.

In the House, there is a history of arm twisting by the Speaker.
who could forget Dennis the homosexual pedophile Hastert, and the Medicare Part D vote?? how many hours were extended for that vote?
The Speaker needs the members for hands on, or in Denny hastert's case, perhaps something else, but arms and other body parts have to be twisted. It is the sausage making part of legislating.

Pelosi knows that threats to withhold DNC campaign money are more effective in person.

Article 1 Section 5 of THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION requires a QUORUM for either house to conduct business. Rep Massie is not a "grand stander" but a patriot.The Constitution says nothing about how the quorum can be met so it has to be assumed as in person. If they wish to vary from the Constitution then an AMENDMENT is required to clarify.
These bipartisan self important "servants of the people" cowards expect ESSENTIAL peon employees to show up for work, so I reckon they are not essential

Wuhan Nan strikes again. Of course she claims she doesn't like remote voting, because she can now delay the WH and any help that Trump is trying to give the nation.

Remote voting is not okay for you but we have to have it for the General Election in order to save 'Our Democracy'? Explain that to me, would you?

Nancy Nero Pignasty sets fire to the country and laughs and blames someone else while it burns to the ground. Anything to screw this country out of it's Constitution and civil liberties. The day next January after the new Members are sworn in and she hands the gavel back to the new Republican Speaker of the House should be a National Day of Prayer and thanks to God for his many blessings.

Now wait a second. It's ok, if not demanded that we mail/internet/phone OUR votes in, but when it's her vote, now it's a big security deal.
