West Virginia and Challenged Votes

Well, I don't have too much time before I have to go to my Intro to Philosophy class; but I thought I'd go ahead and add this in:

On C-SPAN, a House of Represenatives hearing into a botched voting session over a bill that would have ended welfare benefits being given to illegal immigrants caught my eye. Instead of studying for that quiz today over Chapter 1, I watched it. I'll try to put a video up of the hearing on my blog. The video of the calling of the vote was editted by the Republican's, which C-SPAN noted. Either way, I don't believe the guy did anything wrong; House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer will soon testify about it (D-MD) concerning whether or not he pushed the vote to be called, I believe from what I recall from earlier testimony. It was a Republican bill and the person who called the vote was a Democrat so of course there was a noted difference between the how pointed the questions were across party lines.

I'll be editting this later to include more information, and to note the results of the West Virginia Primary.
