Video Shows Texas Legislative Members Voting For Each Other


The Texas Legislature is considering several bills that would protect against voter fraud, but are they committing voter fraud themselves? One of these bills would require voers to present a photo-ID in order to vote. Another would make it a crime for anyone to deliver a ballot for someone who cannot drive to the polls. Yet cameras in the statehouse caught numerous lawmakers voting up to four times on a single bill while casting ballots for their absent colleagues.

Watch the YouTube video below. :wow: :wow: :wow:

I so wish I could think of something Molly-like to say here. Oh, I miss Molly.

Her hate/hate relationship with what she fondly referred to as "the Lege"
