My brother sent me a link from Lawrence Lessig’s blog about the Texas Legislature. What happens when the legislature passes a law that requires citizens to show a picture ID when they vote so they can’t vote twice? Well what is good for the citizens isn’t for the legislature. News 42 in Austin, Texas exposes the voting habits of the Texas legislature. Please watch this video.
I’ve been critical in the past about how the News is broadcast is this country but I can’t help to applaud what this news station in Texas did. This is the kind of news that every citizen needs to know about. Do you know how your legislature votes? I don’t, but I will find out soon enough. You should too!

if it wasn’t so corrupt, i would’ve been laughing at the game those legislators were playing. it was almost like a game of musical chairs.
“oops! you beat me to voting for the democrat from the 5th district!”
i wanted to see handcuffs slapped on them.
