This is how politicians vote in the Texas house.

This is beautiful, BEAUTIFUL hypocrisy. It's at a level of undeniable and, formerly, unimaginable hypocrisy.

HEY EVERYBODY!
yea?
WE NEED A LAW SAYING PEOPLE WHO VOTE NEED TO SHOW THEIR IDS SO THEY ONLY VOTE ONCE!
uhm, well, that kinda makes sense, but we have to make sure ID's are free and easy to get...
--[STRIKE THAT LAST] GREAT! LETS VOTE ON IT!
*15 politicians cast 100 ballots and pass the measure*

/democracy.

For the lame videoless:

Video shows Texas lawmakers voting FOR OTHER PEOPLE. They vote more than once. They do what they are passing a law to stop other people from doing.
The Texas house rules prohibit lawmakers from doing this.
There is no enforcement of this rule.
Democrat and Republican alike do this. They vote for people who aren't there; it's a speed game. Walk around, vote for people. People who aren't even in your own party! Just whichever voting buttons you can reach.
WHAT.THE.FUCK.
