Voting forsomeone else is also against Texas state law. So they need to change one of the laws. This idea that there is so much work to do that the only way to get it done is to give them less time is a very flawed idea. Is Texas the only state that meets once every 2 years?
I contend that giving less time so that they will get the important things done is a poor solution to the problem. First because a lot can happen in 2 years that requires the states attention... Second because it is crazy. Make laws that require a specific timeline. If your unwilling to do that move to a mobile voting system where reps can vote while in committee using their fingerprint. Having someone else vote for constituents that are not their own is absolutely a bad solution.
