When the House revamped its rules in the early days of the pandemic to allow lawmakers to vote remotely, Nicholas Fandos reports at the New York Times, Rep. Ralph Norman of South Carolina was among 161 Republicans who sued to block the arrangement, arguing that it subverts the Constitution.
He was right, but times have changed. Formerly a critic, Norman s now a fan. On June 29th, he notified the Clerk of the US House of Representatives that he was unable to attend proceedings in the House Chamber due to the ongoing public health emergency, designating a proxy (fellow South Carolina Republican Joe Wilson) to vote in his stead.
