Luna and Johnson strike deal to end proxy voting feud
Johnson and Luna have struck an agreement to end the push for proxy voting, and, in
exchange, formalize “vote pairing,”. The speaker is also planning to put in a nursing room and make day care more accessible for representatives. “Vote pairing” allows a member who is absent during a vote on the House floor to coordinate with a present member on the opposite side of a matter to announce that the present member is forming a “pair”. It allows the absent representative to record how they would have voted had they been present.
