I wonder how frequently this kind of vote happens?

North Carolina is open at least, to fracking...by accident.

State Democratic lawmaker Becky Carney -- who opposed legislation to allow hydraulic fracturing for natural gas in her state -- pushed the wrong button in a late night vote and unintentionally became the deciding vote to overturn Governor Bev Purdue's veto of the bill.

Afterward, Carney tearfully said -- quote-- "I feel rotten, and I feel tired. And I feel that mistakes are made constantly when people are tired. And I feel rotten about it, but I take responsibility for my vote."

Her request for a do-over was denied.

Too bad, so sad - and just think her "wrong" vote will help her state immensely with energy, money and jobs. Gotta wonder what the others were thinking

To err is human...but for a Dumbocrat it's the norm rather than the exception.

Thought I should add that at least she owned up to the mistake. Something exceedingly rare for Dumbocrats to do.

Quite often, especially when they don't vote for themselves or aren't paying attention.

Are they sure she was even there? There are similar videos from other states, not an isolated incidence by any means.

True,all liars and frauds. they indicate that the others are actually there also, as I understand it that's fraud since they get paid for being there and voting based on that info.

Many times that was the original reason for the Filibuster. Getting people tired to make a mistake.
