Every legislator needs to have a turnkey that MUST be inserted and turned before the vote can be cast. Further, that key must NEVER leave their possession.
That’ll put a stop to this garbage. Per Karl Denninger of the Market Ticker, “And this begs the question – in The US House, where voting is done by “electronic card” (as opposed to open outcry in the Senate), do you really believe this isn’t going on there too?”
It’s unconscionable, as is the failure to enforce the rules. ='[.]’=
This is an oldie but a goodie from the Ron Paul campaign. Thanks again.
I agree this should be punished, but I am pretty sure they have permission to vote for the absent member, who most likely just wants to play hooky without getting caught.
are you still upset that you got your ass kicked??? listen i grew up in upstate ny not only am i a damn yankee i have unfetterd hatred for what the yankees have done they single handed wrecked the country we need to return to confedrate but this voteing is bullshit.,,,, they are fucking tyrrants
In fairness, voting around the desks there is different than voting from the streets. There SHOULD be circuitry to keep more than one vote from each button/desk. That, and the representatives ought to be able to vote from mobile wireless devices if they aren’t going to physically appear in that room. Those may not be valid solutions- but I’m trying to think of solutions instead of just complaining.
They seemed to be hotter and heavier when conservatives were in control, didn’t they? Our mainstream media is embarrassingly IN THE TANK right now for the secular progressives.
Not at all.
It was a case of sacrificing thousands upon thousands of innocent civillians for a FedGov power grab which quickly became a land grab.
It was never about slaves, it was about FREEDOM.
Only a moron wouldn’t get that fact right.
These politicians have never worked a day in their lives.
All they do is screw the little guy and LIE.
Now we see them fraudulently voting in the one job they play at doing.
What this video did NOT say is that each voting box has a KEY that can be locked if they don’t want their neighbor to help vote for them… and that there are TWO methods of correcting a wrong vote. One with the clerk and also by calling for a recount. This video is just political spin. They are not stealing votes in this video.
pmdryd – You are correct, a wireless voting system would be nice, and in fact it was brought up before the legislation. They decided that they massive expense to the tax payers wouldn’t be worth it. – This video shows the voting method that has been used for over 80 years. Pre arrangements with their neighbors to help them vote while they are away.
Any member found guilty by the house of knowingly voting for another member on the voting machine shall be subject to discipline deemed appropriate by the house.
I AM ONLY ASSUMING THAT YOU WORK IN THE LEGISLATURE, EITHER AS AN INTERN OR A PATSY FOR ONE OF YOUR CONGRESSMEN OR WOMEN.
A FREAKING KEY?! ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!? I CAN GO RIGHT NOW TO THE JUNKYARD HERE IN LOS ANGELES AND HAVE A FAKE BMW KEY MADE FOR ANY CAR I WANT AND YOU ARE TELLING ME “theey haaave a keeey????” lol my GOD what is wrong with you!?
furthermore, filing a change of vote with the clerk has a statue of limitations… it must be done within a certain allotted amount of time… and SO DOES THE CALL FOR A RECOUNT YOU IDIOT… YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT. THEREFORE IF THE ASSEMBLYMAN OR WOMAN DOES NOT KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN VOTED FOR, THEN HOW ARE THEY GOING TO CONTEST A “WRONG” VOTE!? ANSWER ME THAT!
CONGRATULATIONS U DUMBFUCK PRICK YOU ARE THE EXACT DEFINITION OF WHAT OUR COUNTRY’S CORRUPTION HAS EVOLVED INTO.
HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT?
The difference between the two types of votes is that we, the people, vote by secret ballot. The Legislator’s votes are public – published both on the screen in the Chamber and in the record of the proceedings of the day. The Legislators can correct an incorrect vote, the citizen at the ballot box cannot.
However, if the members wish to be able to cover for one another, they need to step up and change the rules.
If you can’t be there to vote, you shouldn’t have a vote counted. Either be there to do your job or not. It’s similar to having a co-worker punch the time clock for you when you’re not there to do it yourself. It’s just wrong.
By the order of this page I order that all double voting lawmakers be penalized and publicly stoned.
Go on to lunch, you guys I’ve got this. Ding, ding, ding, ding, on and on.
I can’t even double/triple/quadruple vote on youtube. Try it. Maybe youtube should come up with a way to fix this. Maybe finger print identification.
acorn didn’t exist 100 years ago, they do now. That is why we need ID to vote now.

No, they need a couple of guys with high-powered rifles watching over them in case they press the wrong person’s button.

Is this the type of garbage that happens when they vote on Social medicine in D.C.?

That is something that is fucked and needs to be fixed. Many of those lawmakers should be tossed in the slammer too….and Kicked out of office

House Rules Section 47. Voting for Another Member
Any member found guilty by the house of knowingly voting for another member on the voting machine shall be subject to discipline deemed appropriate by the house.
No excuses.
In the video we see legislators racing to place votes at the same desks.
Even if one of them were designated to place a vote in someone’s absence, against the House’s own rules, then why are several of them racing to do it?
I call bull.
