We've all seen the image of the results of the impeachment votes. If I'm reading this right (and I admit I may not be), there were 30 Republicans who appeared not to vote. That was the number under NV, which I'm interpreting as not voting. Is this correct? Were they present and didn't vote. Were they present and voted only present. Did they not show up? Anything to be interpreted by this? If they weren't cowards, would they have voted in favor of impeachment? Seems moderately significant to me.

(7,873 posts)As a side note, I don't think any of the three votes were particularly meaningful. One was from Duncan Hunter, who is apparently away from Congress after pleading guilty to criminal charges; his resignation doesn't go into effect until the end of the year (...?), so, he is still listed as an active member of the House. I believe the Democrat was unable to vote due to being treated for an illness. And the other Republican was apparently out of the country ( ?).
