The framing of this article's headline is stupidly misleading. The vote was closed PRECISELY because they were still in traffic. If they showed up on time, they would have simply waited for the other Republicans to show up to. It's almost like the Republican who called for this vote tried to pull a staunt BEFORE THE BLUE WAVE IS IN OFFICE IN JANUARY to divide us with this vote. And since people only read headlines or listen to political pundits these days, it unfortunately worked.

My first thought when I saw a Republican brought up the vote was similar. I am wondering if they are bringing up the vote now before the blue-nami comes in because it probably will fail now. If it fails now, can it be brought up again after January, or would that be prevented due to double jeopardy?
