The House is recording its votes electronically- HA
Am I the only one who thinks this is ironic? Given that they are voting on the merits of the argument over Ohio's electronically cast Presidential ballots?

3. Happened 4 times...kept going Yeah, Nay, Yeah, Nay...
Guess someone kept pushing "Kerry," and kept getting "Bush." Looks like they straightened out quick, though.

4. Same thing popped into my head
I thought - how ironic - they vote electronically too!

But one big difference - their votes are public - you know who voted for what.

If we had that in our elections, then it would be easy - just give a paper receipt. It's the vote-secrecy that makes it so easy to commit fraud.

9. Do they really?
I wonder why they won't agree to do for us, what they already have agreed to do for themselves? Maybe this question is more rhetorical than anything, I don't know.
