To my reading of that sentence, the "as expected" only applies to the absent member, not the number of no votes. - znufrii, definitely not 40 May 4, 10:44 3
- Then they should have left out the word "likely," I think. -- nm - mara May 4, 10:53 1
  - I agree they probably could have worded it more clearly. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 May 4, 10:58
- Right. Per the link above, there are 17 expected no. 48 undecided/unclear - ty97 May 4, 10:45
That's encouraging. When was the last time a bill was brought to vote that didn't pass? - Mop May 4, 10:41 1
- Don't know. The Hastert Rule basically means it does not happen anymore. - ty97 May 4, 10:44
