Seaver, is there any sort of check to make sure that the alleged fraud isn't actually happening? What happens if I come back from my conference meeting to find that my deskmate has voted against my wishes?

From all appearances--based only on the video--it looks like vote time is a total vote-grabbing feeding frenzy, but I'm willing to believe that there's a fair system at play.

Are you actually telling me that the cross-party button poking that the video caught was actually a Republican rep doing his Democrat colleague a favor and voting the way the Dem requested, regardless of how his party wants the outcome of the vote to go? If so, the Texas Legislature is a paragon of integrity.
