I know that members of Congress can go in and change the record of what they said in Floor speeches, which is nuts!

Well, just as long as you don’t change your “no” vote to any incumbent, and your “no” vote to any of their propositions, perhaps then they’ll get the Dick and Jane of it.

This is absolutely outrageous! Everyone of these people should be recalled, but we know that won’t happen given the control of the Dems. Is there no bottom they can ever reach with their dirty politics?

Yes and no. In the Assembly, members can change their votes at the end of the session But these changes cannot affect the outcome of the vote. So say a majority vote bill passes 47-33, the first 6 members who record a vote change from aye to no or not voting are ok but the seventh is SOL since his/her change would affect the outcome by reducing the aye votes to 40 – below the minimum for passage. There is no limit the other way – 33 could change their vote to aye but that’s unlikely. The Senate does not allow changing votes after the roll is closed

I heard that the legislaters can go back and change the way they voted in the record. They can vote one way, change the record and then tell the voters they voted differently than they really did. Anyone know if this is true?
