Is voting a game? In Texas, it is. To the lawmakers there, voting is a free-for-all vote-as-many-times-as-you-can extravaganza.

I’m not surprised. But it’s odd to think that their voting rules are:

1. To vote, press a button. The first person to press a voting button wins.
2. It doesn’t matter if the button is on your desk.
3. You may vote as many times as you want.
4. It’s all about speed. (i.e. If X next to you wants to vote yea, but you vote nay for him before he presses his button, that’s just too bad for him.)

Don’t believe me? Watch the video. For the record, these dirty little lawmakers need to stop what they’re doing. Their actions are completely without integrity. But, you know what?, I understand how this sort of practice could come about—it looks fun, doesn’t it? I’m always up for a challenge and I’d love to see how many votes I could ring up in favor of one my causes… fun fun fun. I digress.
