Politicians Use "Automatic Yes" Software to Cast Votes

Great news! Thanks to this amazing software used by politicians in California, it is now possible to vote "yes" automatically on everything while taking a smoke break, hold back room deals or taking naps.

Yet Cardenas was not in his chair for any of those votes. Instead, the San Fernando Valley councilman was behind closed doors in a nearby private room for an hour and 50 minutes. As he conferred with an aide to Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, a computer at his desk in the council chamber automatically voted "yes" on those issues -- and eight others.
