So voice vote is literally based on if the committee chairmen thinks he/she hears more yes or no’s?


Edit: Voice vote - Wikipedia

It’s kinda wild this is not uncommon. Lazy fukks can’t even bother to have something more procedural.
Not about being lazy. They pretty much control the state and this is another way they keep it, by using something like this where it's based on how loud someone is, not by how reps actually vote. Same reason they don't have the cameras on the reps when this type of vote occurs.

So you're saying there's supposed to be an opposing force to Republicans but they not in action tonight :troll:

funny how that is...:troll: and when you ask where they at, they juelzing...

Tennessee has a Republican trifecta and a Republican triplex. The Republican Party controls the offices of governor, secretary of state, attorney general, and both chambers of the state legislature.


A masterclass in election-rigging: how Republicans ‘dismembered’ a Democratic stronghold.

Tennessee Gov. Lee signs redistricting maps, splits Nashville.

Tennessee sued over state House, Senate redistricting maps. The lawsuit, filed Wednesday, is backed by the Tennessee Democratic Party

Yea I get that in this case.

I’m just saying from a general standpoint, the fact that this is not uncommon seems pretty lazy to me.

Not going to work, they are fighting against the inevitable.

Like another breh said the current version of the GOP really isn’t a fan of democracy.

They want the voter populace dumb and uneducated that plays to them.

Imma assume you don't know this because you don't vote but their are regularly more than 2 options to choose from when voting. Whether its presidential or local elections. The two party system thrives because the 3rd, 4th and 5th parties are largely ignored or seen a parasites taking the "real parties" votes.

There is no contradiction. Choosing not to participate reinforces a two party system as much as down ballot voting every election. It makes for predictable, guaranteed votes or non-votes. It creates a very small pool of people politicans actually legislate for and those they can afford not to. That is not democracy. Romney broke it down the best.
