Texas legislators use neighbors voting station to vote

YouTube Video
ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.


Holy shit!

At first I was like, "well, maybe they're just voting a way for their friends who asked them to," but then after seeing how much of it happens and multiple people going for a single station, no fucking way man.

That is so crazy! If I lived in Texas, I'd be pissed.

That really begs the question as to where the heck those other representatives are... I mean I assume you don't vote for them so they can stay home and jerk off. Why arent they there casting thier own votes? IF everyone shows up, this isn't a problem

I don't think that ever happens, not even in DC. The biggest pieces of legislation have the highest attendance, and you often till see people who didn't vote.

I just saw the video. If someone decides getting a sandwich or taking a piss is more important than voting, then they shouldn't vote (it looked like quite a few awol though). If they don't recess, that's their problem. How often is the damn legislature in session? Here's a crazy idea, meet one extra time a month and take two half hour recesses during every meeting. Problem friggin solved.

Seriously though, Every single one who is caught voting for someone else should be removed from office and barred from ever serving again. This is inexcusable.

It's hit and miss, but I don't know of any alternatives.

What are we going to do? Have some retina ID system to push a vote button?

I would not only ask where these guys are, but why would they let a vote stand that they did not make?
