Davis Says Voting Documents Altered After Filibuster
Source: Houston Chronicle
Sen. Wendy Davis told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that a fellow senator was informed by a Capitol staff member that the official voting documents had been purposefully changed to falsify the time of the vote on SB 5, the bill killed in her dramatic Tuesday night filibuster.
The discovery was important, she said, because had the vote been stamped on 6/25, rather than 6/26, the bill would have passed.
“We know it was purposeful,” she said. “I think there will be further investigation.”

This has the potential to be a huge story and really deserves some widespread attention. There is clear evidence of government tampering. While everyone who watched the proceedings last night know Republicans did everything they can to break laws of parliamentary procedure, this is definitive evidence of an attempt to commit fraud and tamper with government documents.
If not for the information age we live in, there's no way this could have been caught or prevented.

against Democrats in the next election cycle. There are enough dense people in the state that they'll believe anything a Repig says. 
Per a reader comment from the Texas Observer article on this story. Which makes sense. It's a good read that came from the Business Insider link in Hissyspit's thread.
Live Blog: Senate Filibuster on Anti-Abortion Bill

That is last night's picture and the chamber looks much it did when I was there with my union during the Ann Richards era. We were always welcome to discuss things that would make the life of workers, women and minorities better.
We spoke with her on several different occasions and she would seek us out and shook our hands with enthusiasm and joy. God, I miss her. She was a sweetheart, a warm, good hearted woman like Davis.
Very proud of my Texas Democrats!

Oh, and please wake me up when a Republican law-maker in Texas is held to the law.
He was Republican Party (GOP) House Majority Leader from 2003 to 2005, when he resigned because of felony money laundering charges in connection with a campaign finance investigation. He was convicted in January 2011 and sentenced to three years in prison but is free on bail while appealing his conviction.
As a convicted felon DeLay will not be eligible to run for public office in Texas nor would he be able to vote in Texas until he completes any sentence, including probation and parole.[63]
Are you awake?
The important thing is that he was duly convicted of a crime. The idea that nothing ever happens to repubs is false.
I guess I managed to wake the previous poster up, due to that pesky fact 
Isn't anyone going to be arrested? Any investigation?
Have we really sunk that low?
YES, time to take this very seriously!
I started a thread with all the details needed for a conviction:

Van De Putte Says Republicans Changed Time Stamp On SB 5 Voting Record
Sen. Leticia Van De Putte, D-San Antonio, said Republicans in the Senate, including the lieutenant governor, asked clerks to make a last-minute change when a vote was taken on SB 5, the senate's abortion bill.
View both versions of the Senate voting record below.
Van De Putte said the Texas Legislative Library first showed that the bill had passed on 6/26/13 with a time stamp of 12:03 a.m. About 15 minutes later the clerks were told that they needed to change it to the 25th.
There are laws and consequences of breaking those laws. Lawmakers are not above the law itself!
