In response to ""If 22 Republicans vote “no”, and one G.O.P. representative is absent, as expected, the vote is likely to fail." -- nm" by mara

To my reading of that sentence, the "as expected" only applies to the absent member, not the number of no votes.

They only list 17 likely no votes.

Right. Per the link above, there are 17 expected no. 48 undecided/unclear - ty97 May 4, 10:45
