There's video of an assistant changing his vote after cast

Edit: he may not have changed his vote but needed assistance in making the correct vote choosing incorrectly at first but then voted as told before it was recorded

Assistance voting is explicitly allowed by Senate rules for everything except a floor vote.

I'm glad a lot of people are realizing how much gentlemen's agreements and duct tape were holding our system together. we need full reform.

The Constitution does say that "Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings".

Can part of the reform be people refusing to vote for geriatric swamp monsters? Chuck Grassley is 93 fucking years old and RUNNING AGAIN. We need term limits because Americans are too stupid to stop voting for these fossils.
