Barney is talking about vote switching and holding votes open until they get just enough votes to do what they not. Changing votes to muddy their records for the voters.

8. this is pretty far reaching stuff! |

We will need the transcript of this from C-Span just to understand how deep this is.
think they can get this past now, or will it have to wait until we get control again?

Barney is kicking ass isn't he?
Kept the vote open longer than the vote on the day they evacuated. Amazing. He's right. they should just have drills when they want to cheat and twist arms.
