Republicans in the Virginia state legislature are in a tissy because the Democrats are recording late night/ off hour sessions and putting them on Youtube and their website.

The Democrats started doing this because the off hour sessions votes aren't recording in the official record thanks to a new rule the republicans passed. Which allows them to do such things as kill a minimum wage hike without anyone being accountable, and we all know how much republicans love to do that.
