Actually, this vote was only for the rules resolution, which is always party line. I don't think the actual bill has been voted on yet.
Ah, that would explain the number of people who didn't show up for it.
I'm not an expert on parlimentary procedure and rules so I'm a little baffled as to why my congresswoman voted No on the Resolution but Yes on the actual bill.
All the Republicans who voted No on the resolution but yes on the actual bill didn't actually want to vote for the bill. They didn't want to be put in the position to vote on the bill at all, so they voted against the resolution, hoping it wouldn't come to the floor. However, when the bill did get to the floor, they didn't want to look like they hate college students, so they voted Yes on the bill.
