For those who cannot watch the video, Murtha is acting as Chair of the House and they are taking a voice vote on some journal.

Murtha asks all those in favor say ‘aye’ and you barely hear any members saying ‘aye’.

Murtha then asks all those opposed to say “no” and a very loud chorus of members yells out “no”.

Murtha then states that it is his opinion that the ayes have it.

Sensenbrenner tries to challenge the vote several times, but Murtha simply keeps saying the ‘ayes’ have it.

Sure sounds like a Teamsters election to me.
