McConnell Blocks Remote Voting on in the Senate

Jordain Carney at The Hill:
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday blocked an attempt by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) to allow for temporary remote voting as the House prepares to take up its own proposal this week.
Paul, speaking from the Senate floor, argued that Congress should either return to session or allow for remote voting to be temporarily available during emergencies.
"If there exists too much danger to have Congress meet in person, we should allow emergency voting remotely," Paul said from the floor.

But McConnell objected to Paul's attempt to pass his resolution, which would allow for any senator to try to get up to a 30-day temporary approval for remote voting.
