Would this count as voter fraud?

[Mr. Dictator]

Link to video.

So when do we just go ahead and arrest all of these people?

I especially find the camera feed switch up to be deliciously deviant.

So, is this illegal? If not, why? (I'd prefer a reason other than, "politicians police themselves? hahahah") If it is, why aren't they all in jail?

Edit: should watch full videos before I post. The rules say, basically, "anyone caught doing this will be disciplined as deemed appropriate by the house."

Ergo, carry on, reps.

Do you realy expect us to watch a four hour long video.

 

[Traitorfish]

It's four minutes.

 

[Bestbank Tiger]

It's definitely unethical. But someone from Texas would have to let us know if it's illegal.

ETA: Illegal too, I commented before the video was over.

You don't have to watch it all at once

 

[Silurian]

It's four minutes.

Spoiler :

I'd say that explains why Texas has such a silly state government- but no, there's a million other reasons why Texas has such a silly state government.

Wow, I'm mildly shock at this.

If only you had to show an ID before you get to cast a vote.

The bull she spins at 2:40 is precious. Too bad nobody's going to do anything about this.

 

[ZeletDude]

Are you joking me! This is a joke right. :\

 

[Cutlass]

The whole lot of them should be sent to federal prison.

 

[Mr. Dictator]

The whole lot of them should be sent to federal prison.

Not if they can secede first!

While true, I agree that there should be a summary in the OP, some times people either can't or just don't want to watch a video. It takes a couple seconds and a line of text.

Overall, this is ridiculous. There should be someone enforcing this. As for that one woman's defense of "there are too many votes" they signed up for teh job. If they can't do it there are consequences and they miss votes.

The biggest problem right now there is no way to know if votes are accurate to the wishes of the lawmaker who they were assigned to.

Wow. Brennan is Speechless.

This is what I'm concerned about, especially with regards to cross-party voting.

 

[say1988]

If there is a real issue with there being too many votes for a person to reasonably sit for (I don't believe it, but if there is), allow the legislators to assign a specific aide to make certain vote in their place (though it should be limited as to how often it can be done).

 

[cegman]

Wow this is just sick. How can you blatantly ignore the rules and just randomly vote for other people even people who are at their desk?

 

[Formaldehyde]

You think this is serious? What about no bathroom or food breaks? I had no idea the legislators were virtual prisoners who were forced to work under what are essentially conditions of servitude. No wonder they want pay raises all the time.

 

[brennan]

Work interfering with your 'official' breaks and pressure to do unpaid overtime? Sounds like most jobs to me.
