The latest on the Taylor case, from the Asheville Citizen-Times.

Apparently, his voting card was ‘invalid’, even though it had worked for a number of other votes on the same day …

Taylor spokeswoman Deborah Potter said Thursday that Taylor cast his vote near the end of the voting period.

Potter said House members have electronic cards that allow them to vote from another location when they can’t make it to the House floor.

“At the terminal where he put his card in and voted, he voted no,” Potter said.

The machine apparently recorded Taylor’s vote as an invalid card, according to Brian Walsh, press secretary for Congressman Bob Ney. Ney’s office oversees the House Clerk’s Office.

Members of Congress receive a new voting card every Congress, and it’s not clear what the problem was with Taylor’s card.

Are they really serious about <$NoAd$> this?
