Who voted for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act?
BY ED O'KEEFE
November 7 at 3:36 pm
The measure earned bipartisan support, but the bipartisan margins fell short of another noteworthy Senate vote this year.
Here's a breakdown:
Final tally: 64 to 32.
How many members of the Senate Democratic caucus voted for the bill?: 54. (52 Democrats, two independents.)
How many Republicans voted for the bill?: 10. Sens. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah), Dean Heller (R-Nev.), Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), John McCain (R-Ariz.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Patrick J. Toomey (R-Pa.).
How many senators didn't vote?: 4. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Robert Casey (D-Pa.), Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) and Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.). A spokeswoman for Casey said the senator is away this week spending time with his wife, who had surgery in Boston to repair a heart valve. Coburn is seeking treatment for a recurrence of prostate cancer.
