Already, legislative lCARESeaders are preparing to normalize voice votes to authorize another wave of multibillion-dollar stimulus legislation. On Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., announced that the Senate would attempt to move forward with a new round of emergency spending legislation passed through an unrecorded voice vote.

“The CARES Act vote will likely be one of the most consequential of our generation,” said David Segal, executive director of Demand Progress, a watchdog group that is also pushing to force lawmakers to go on record for coronavirus response legislation. “We need to make it clear to congressional leadership and rank-and-file representatives that they’ll be held accountable for how they voted on it and how they vote through the remainder of this crisis.”

The decision to use unanimous consent by voice vote was justified as necessary to protect lawmakers who could not travel to Washington, D.C., because of potential health risks. But procedures could have been implemented to allow distance voting in an emergency. After the Senate voted 96-0 to approve the bill, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., formally rejected voting by proxy voting or any move toward electronic voting in the run-up to the vote. On the day that the House took up the CARES Act, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., stated that he had called enough lawmakers back to form a quorum and implemented a special rule for unanimous consent.

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., was the only lawmaker to formally object, demanding evidence that a quorum was present and calling for a recorded vote. The protest lasted less than one minute and 30 seconds. Rep. Anthony Brown, D-Md., the presiding officer in the House on March 27, rejected Massie and, within moments, the bill cleared the House.

Ocasio-Cortez, who called the legislation a “shameful” corporate bailout in an impassioned floor speech that went viral, would have voted against the bill, her office confirmed. In an interview with “Democracy Now” on Tuesday morning, Ocasio-Cortez said she wouldn’t “slight any member for how they voted,” but “could not bring myself to ultimately support this bill, because I believe that people will soon see the extraordinary asymmetrical assistance that went to corporations.”

“We’re not just talking about half a trillion dollars that went to Wall Street, as I mentioned in my remarks,” she continued. “That is being leveraged to $4 trillion for Wall Street and corporations. And what we’re seeing in payroll protection for small businesses is just a drop in the bucket compared to that.”
