    Wasn’t this some sort of play by Republicans to try and sneak a vote in, which is why a bunch of people couldn’t make it? Correct me if im wrong.

    Seems like something designed to make progressives look bad for asking for representation in government. Isreal must be shitting their pants about loosing control of the wheel.

      No, not really. This vote was scheduled a couple days in advance, so everyone had time to figure out how to get there on time. One of the Democrats that missed the vote blamed a traffic jam, but a reporter saw him on the capital steps several minutes before the deadline. He could have easily just walked inside and cast his vote before the deadline, but just… didn’t.
