(18,063 posts)364. Way to go Senator Hinojosa!
Texas Observer Live Blog 6/25-6/-26
(snip)
1:24 a.m.: Democratic senators are claiming that the time stamp on the vote has been changed. The following is a photo of Rep. Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa holding two different time stamps. This indicates that the time was altered to make it look like a vote for Senate Bill 5 was taken on June 25 instead of June 26 as the time stamp originally appeared.
Reports, like this one from Observer staff writer Forrest Wilder, place the official vote at 12:02 a.m. on June 26. —Jonathan McNamara

To quote Crooks and Liars today:
"That's stealing the vote. Or cheating. Or being a Republican."
