Documented Voter Fraud in New Hampshire

Sonia Prince:
Shortly after lunch break, [House Speaker Bill O'Brien] held a voice vote on HB 653. Even though the voices were even on the "aye/nay," O'Brien announced "passed with two-thirds of the votes," which was obviously not true.

A roll call would have been necessary to determine the results. The reaction of loud moans from the audience were more than noticeable.

On the next vote, a representative called for a roll call. As people stood to support the roll call, speaker O'Brien ignored them and quickly proceeded to a voice vote and said "passed."

Won't someone in power do something about this documented voter fraud, the evidence for which is clear as day by going here, selecting "October 12, 2011 afternoon video" and skipping to 1:15:00?

Also on the same afternoon video (4.00 / 1)
watch at 1:08:25 the see and hear the railroading of the voice vote on the amendment to HB 198.

You have not converted a man because you have silenced him.  (John Morley, 1838-1923)
The remedy for this is an ethics complaint to the legislative ethics committee. (4.00 / 1)

Essentially courts are very reluctant to interfere with internal proceedings of legislature (with good reason in most cases), but the legislators themselves can file complaints to the ethics committee, which has always seemed to take its duties quite seriously in a  reasonably non-partisan manner.

Of course whether the Speaker cares a whit about what the ethics committee says is another matter entirely.  Stalin, when discussing with Churchill the reaction of the Papacy to deteriorating conditions for Catholics in Poland is said to have asked  "How many divisions does the Pope of Rome have".

Likewise the Speaker for  the next 409 days* respects only brute power.

*but who's counting?

"But, in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope." Si se puede. Yes we can.  

Ethics... (0.00 / 0)

Who would need to bring it to the Ethics Committee, and what would they need to find that Bully O' needs censure or something more as punishment?

Is there any good reason to wait?

Ethics (0.00 / 0)
A member of the Legislature should make the complaint (maybe with a citizen who was in the gallery?) and show the videotape to the Ethics Committee.

Even if nothing gets done, it's at least good for a press release to try to let the public know what's going on.

Suggestion for you... (0.00 / 0)

Sent this video clip to Jon Stewart.
Edit the video (0.00 / 0)
I can't skip ahead on these House vids. Can they be edited?

Who has direct access?

This is an outrage, and should be "shared."

they can be but... (0.00 / 0)
They can be edited, but it is difficult.  They use a funky video format called .asx
