Re: Here we go....
Anyone know the mechanics of the voting process? I would have thought that the votes would be recorded electronically, somehow. But if that's the case, then why doesn't this process happen more quickly?

[/ QUOTE ] They are recorded electronically, but members work out of their offices across the street from the Capitol and come in for votes from there. Takes a few minutes to get over there. All debate is watched on closed cicuit (sp) tv and c-span while they are over in their offices taking meetings with constituents, advocacy groups, at hearings, etc. |
