Last minute vote-switching in the Minnesota House. The House just passed a ban on the sale of "mature" videogames to kids under 17. Just before the vote closed, and it was a sure win, I counted something like 7 representatives who voted "no," telling House Speaker Steve Sviggum they were voting "yes."
Did they have a sudden change of heart given the nature of the debate in the 75 seconds between their vote of "no" and their switch to "yes?" Or is it something more?
I guess this is how "I voted against it after I voted for it" becomes part of campaign lexicon.
