Per Electionline.org:
This morning, the U.S. Senate conducted two roll call votes related to the voter ID amendment (SA 4085) proposed by Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky:The first vote -- a motion to table the amendment -- failed, 49-48. A record of the roll call vote is here. On the second vote, the Senate invoked cloture (i.e.. agreed to limit debate) on the underlying immigration bill (S. 2611). The vote was 73-25 and the roll call is here. As a result of cloture, the McConnell amendment falls as a non-germane amendment to the bill.
