MA: Keeping the Voting Booths Clean Act (Vetoed)

[Inks.LWC Supports Chuck Hagel]

If you want to vote in our own language, be my guest.

Well, hey - at least you're consistent (well, or you're at least being consistent now).

Nay

There's no vote yet.

Whoops

I think I'm going to stand with the Speaker on this one.

 We can talk about having the right to vote in whatever language we want, but I still fail to see why. Can someone tell why is so important to complicate the election process (even if it is just a minor inconvenience) by voting that way? Unless I see a clear argument on how useful is to vote in several languages, I'll support the override.

[Inks.LWC Supports Chuck Hagel]

OK, I think enough debate has passed.  We'll bring this to a vote to override the veto.  Members will vote AYE, NAY, or ABSTAIN.  This will be a 48-hour vote.

[Inks.LWC Supports Chuck Hagel]

AYE

[ZuWo]

Aye

[Gass3268]

Nay

[Talleyrand]

Nay

[LumineVonReuental]

Aye.

[Inks.LWC Supports Chuck Hagel]

Voting is now closed.  The AYEs are 3, and the NAYs are 2.  The AYEs not having reached a 2/3 majority, the veto is not overridden.
