Watch the video above. The guy in the white shirt is Republican Rep. Joel Kleefisch, aka Mr. Rebecca Kleefisch (he's the husband of the Republican Lt. Governor).
Watch as Rep. Kleefisch votes on a matter. Then, watch has he votes twice more, using the voting buttons of absent legislators.
Oh, yeah: and Rep. Kleefisch voted for stronger voter ID laws in Wisconsin. Seems the State Assembly needs some Voter ID, too, to prevent reps falsely voting as other reps.
This is absolutely a disgusting perversion of the democratic process.

"The rule says you have to be present in the chamber. The bathroom counts as the chamber. And the parlor counts as a chamber if you are going to eat," said Joel Kleefisch.
In fact, Representative Jason Fields says it happens all the time with both sides -- Democrats and Republicans.
"Yeah, it's done when you have a conversation with your seat mate to know where they are at," said Rep. Fields.
Both lawmakers claim it's not breaking the rules, because technically the representative is still in the chamber.
