United States House Select Committee on the Voting Irregularities of August 2, 2007
The House Select Committee on the Voting Irregularities of August 2, 2007 is a defunct select committee of the U.S. House of Representatives. It was established August 3, 2007 when the House adopted resolution , introduced by House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio.〔Weisman, Jonathan & Elizabeth Williamson. (House Forms Special Panel Over Alleged Stolen Vote ). Washington Post. August 4, 2007. Retrieved on September 5, 2007.〕 As a select committee, it operated only during the 110th Congress, and only for the purposes for which it was established.
==Jurisdiction==
The committee is charged with investigating a vote during House consideration of the fiscal year 2008 appropriations bill for Agriculture, Rural Development, and the Food and Drug Administration. Republicans charged Democrats with improperly changing the result of a vote on the bill, which would have required a provision to explicitly deny federal benefits to illegal immigrants.〔 Toward the end of the vote, several members sought to change their votes, and Democrats gaveled the vote to a close with a vote tally of 214–214, meaning the motion failed. However, because of three Republican vote changes, the final vote showed 215–213, meaning the motion was approved. Several Democratic lawmakers changed their votes, giving a final tally of 212 ayes and 216 noes, killing the motion. Since these vote changes were recorded after the vote had officially ended, the House Majority Leader asked to put the issue to a second vote, which the Republican boycotted stating they had won the first vote, which they charge was prematurely ended and changed after the fact.〔(Special investigation called for in House vote scuffle ) . Washington Post (via the Kansas City Star). August 6, 2007. Retrieved on September 5, 2007.〕 The motion failed on the second vote.
The six-member panel issued an interim report, as it was tasked to do before September 30, 2007. A final report will be issued by September 15, 2008, with recommendations on voting rule changes.〔(Pelosi Three, Boehner Zero on Naming Panel Members to Investigate Voting Snafu ).
