CBS:

The motion to allow Duckworth a proxy vote was made by Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Illinois. Then, according to a Democratic aide, Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Wisconsin, also requested a proxy vote because she will be attending a funeral on Tuesday. Most of the members in the room then seemed inclined to deny the original motion on the grounds that it seemed to be creating something of a slippery slope. Schakowsky seemed to recognize this and withdrew her motion. The other issue for the lawmakers was that they had no practical way of casting a secret ballot remotely.
