Democrats have been trying to dismantle our norms and institutions for years. They’ve called into question everything our founders built, from the Electoral College and the president’s executive powers to the Senate’s constitutional prerogative to confirm Supreme Court justices. Now, Democrats are planning to transform fundamentally one of our greatest institutions — Congress.

Last week, in a letter sent by House Administration Committee Chairwoman Zoe Lofgren to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Democrats laid the groundwork to expand their temporary proxy-voting scheme into a fully remote “vote by text” operation. This plan to institute remote voting for members of Congress fully is unsecure and unconstitutional. Remote voting will fundamentally change the way the House functions, making it more partisan, less representative, and less deliberative.
