This does not show the full story. They want to vote by proxy, not from home. The people requesting this are new mothers. The reason it’s not being given is precedent for other types of requests for health reasons, etc. Not sure why these new moms want this privilege when we’ve had female Congresswomen for decades and this has either never came up, or it did and was granted, but Johnson is not doing it so the Congresswomen are making it public. Do they not get maternity leave? How does voting work if someone is not able to be there? Can’t they afford Nannie’s for the time it would take to go vote? Lots of questions.
