Texas politicians' multiple voting breaks legislature rules
The Texas legislature is a joke. These politicians can't even follow their own rules. When they break their rules they won't punish the people.
Rep. Debbie Riddle, someone who wants to ensure people vote only once with strict laws, cast several votes under other people's names.
Debbie Riddle is your classic Texas Bible-thumping conservative Republican. The religious-conservative fundies have no problem with cheating and breaking their own rules.
Speaking of Riddle, she is opposed to "free education, and free medical care."

Taiwanese Legislature Fight
"Taiwan Legislature Dissolves Into Chaos"
The Associated Press
Friday, January 19, 2007; 9:20 AM
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- A ruling party lawmaker threw a shoe at the speaker of Taiwan's legislature on Friday and assorted colleagues pushed and shoved each other, throwing the final day of the winter legislative session into chaos.
The scenes were reminiscent of past Taiwanese legislative brawls, and represented another low point in the island's sometimes stormy transition from dictatorship to democracy.
Friday's trouble erupted when dozens of lawmakers from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party stormed the speaker's dais to prevent voting on a proposal to change the composition of the Central Election Commission.
The commission is responsible for administering elections on the island of 23 million people and is generally considered nonpartisan.
Opposition Nationalists responded to the DPP's move by rushing forward to protect speaker Wang Jin-pyng, one of the Nationalists' senior members.
DPP lawmaker Wang Shu-huei flung a shoe at the speaker, but it struck the face of a lawmaker next to him.
Another legislator threw the shoe back at Wang Shu-huei and ripped up a DPP political placard. Earlier, a DPP lawmaker grabbed a Nationalist by the jacket collar and tried to push him down against a desk, while dozens of legislators pushed and shoved in the background.
Taiwan's Legislature has a reputation for violent incidents ever since the dismantling of martial law in 1987.
Friday's brawls followed a motion by the opposition _ which holds a slim majority at the 219-seat Legislature _ asking for the Central Election Commission to be selected according to the parties' electoral strength.
At present, members of the commission are nominated by the government and approved by the president.
The opposition called the commission's impartiality into question amid months of legal wrangling following President Chen Shui-bian's narrow victory in the 2004 presidential election.

Hawaii State Legislature Opening Day
The Hawaii State Legislature kicks off each session with Opening Day ceremonies, featuring much pomp and circumstance, music, and food. Lots of food. While the speeches and music are a draw, and all the open doors at the State Capitol provide an excellent opportunity for lobbyists and activists to plead their case, most of the crowd packs the halls of government for the free lunch. Music is "Life In These Islands" by Kaukahi, as performed live as part of Opening Day ceremonies.

Romney Slams Liberal Massachusetts Legislature
Gov Mitt Romney slammed the Mass. state legislature for neglecting their constitutional duty to vote on pro-traditional marriage amendment. The initiative, which defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman, has the backing of 170,000 Massachusetts residents. The liberal state legislature DECLINED TO EVEN VOTE to allow the proposed amendment to be placed on the 2008 election ballot. The Massachusetts legislature continues to thwart democracy and refuses to give its constituents the opportunity to vote on the definition of marriage in their state.
