Correction of the Journal Vote Change Controversy
A report discusses a lawmaker's late night vote change on a bill and subsequent use of the corrected vote in campaign materials. It notes that changing during the night is seen as bad practice and questions the integrity of those circulating a journal based circular. The piece asserts Cox initially supported the bill, later sought unanimous consent to alter his vote, and argues he misrepresented his stance to constituents.
