Would a secret ballot have saved Liz Cheney from ouster?

By going from a secret ballot, where members might feel freer to vote their conscience, to a voice vote, where members vocally express their support or opposition, means there's no official evidence to indicate whether Cheney retained significant support Wednesday. Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., who also did not support removing Cheney, told reporters after Wednesday's meeting there was a question of “whether we could do a recorded vote” but it was not agreed to. “To me” a debate is what “the Republican Party is all about,” Buck said. “This discussion is all about disagreement and coming to the best solution … I just think that we are healthier as a party, by having disagreements on issues.”
