"The House took a step toward easing its latest partisan confrontation by agreeing Friday to create a panel that will investigate a controversial floor vote and make recommendations for changes in voting rules.
The bipartisan six-member select committee will probe Thursday’s contested vote on a Republican motion to send the fiscal 2008 Agriculture spending bill back to committee.
The Republican-sponsored resolution (H Res 611) creating the investigative panel was adopted minus “whereas” clauses accusing Democrats of improperly manipulating that vote."
This sounds like a fair resolution to the problem. When ever I am watching Congress I am shocked at the way they do their votes. Personally, I don't understand why they don't do all the votes through an electronic tally, with a record kept of each vote. The system as it is set up now, seems confusing to me.
