Mississippi Congressman Bennie Thompson (MS 2) joined 70 of his Democratic colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives to cast the first ever proxy votes on Wednesday.
North Carolina Congressman Dan Bishop shared the list of 71 Democrats who voted by proxy calling it an “unprecedented corruption of Congressional process.”
Mississippi’s Third Congressional District Congressman Michael Guest called proxy voting “unconstitutional,” adding, “Americans are getting back to work & they deserve Members of Congress who work on their behalf.”
