CA-Sen: Profile in Courage Chuck DeVore Fails to Vote During Abel Maldonado Confirmation
California Republican Assemblyman Chuck DeVore tweeting about In-N-Out Burgers instead of voting?
Maybe this tweet from Jon Fleischman explains DeVore’s non-vote:
After the first vote, there was a reconsideration vote later yesterday afternoon, Chuck DeVore was either not present or present and failed to vote again. There is every indication that Assemblyman DeVore had left Sacramento in route to a campaign event for his United States Senate candidacy. The evidence that DeVore was absent from the Assembly floor was from his own tweet:
Well, I don’t know where Chuck DeVore was during the second vote on Maldonado’s confirmation. He can answer the question. I do know that he failed to vote again. Here is a photo of the Assembly vote board for the second vote:

So, Chuck don’t you have some explaining to do?
First, to your Orange County constituents on why you abstained or refused to vote yesterday morning on the confirmation of Republican Abel Maldonado for Lt. Governor? Didn’t you pledge to vote against Maldonado?
Second, where were you during the second session debate and vote? Were you at the In-N-Out Burger instead of voting? Or, in route to a U.S. Senate campaign event?
And, why did you fail to vote again? Were you present in the Assembly Chamber to NOT vote?
Inquiring minds and especially California voters want to know, Chuck.
Finally, do you plan to duck more votes? If so, then perhaps you should just resign now from the California Assembly and save the taxpayers the money it pays you for non-voting.
