Amazing that this sort of thing goes on and then people wonder why more people are not voting in general elections. Even though it is supposedly strictly against the rules, it seems to be routinely ignored. "Do what we say, not what we do"... that sort of thing never flies.
In plain view, 'ghosts' are voting in the Pa. House
On the day Gov. Rendell unveiled his budget to a packed House chamber, Rep. William Rieger voted in favor of all six bills that came up.
But Rieger wasn't there. The Democrat was home on Feb. 3, 100 miles away in Philadelphia.
A wad of paper shoved into his electronic "yea" button atop his desk did the work for him.
