Two extra points I like to make on this issue: 10. Proxy voting existed in Parliament. historyofparliamentblog.wordpress.com/2018/10/01/p...

BTW, my absolute favourite procedural fact: In the Lords, proxies could not be used in a committee of the whole House. Several hundred years later, the House of Representatives also did not allow proxy voting in the 🐄. (I assume they just forgot; they fixed it in 2022.)

11. You can vote by proxy while being physically present.

Come back in two years for an examination of the SCOTUS opinion.
