AlterNet reports:

Illinois governor Bruce Rauner watched his anti-union bill called, "Right-To-Work", die a swift, cruel death in the House [May 14]. [...] The the tally [PDF] was 0 yes votes, 72 no votes, and 37 voting present.

Fun with math: The Illinois House has 118 members.

A handful of Republicans went for a walk during the vote, not publicly falling on one side or another.

    We get it, jewg_. You didn't vote for the most recent guy. You only vote for losers who you know will lose, so you can take the moral high ground. Lofty enough for you up there? Sure you don't want deification for your holiness?

    I'm not sure why you seem to be mocking him because he supposedly doesn't vote for evil scumbags. I would think that is a positive course of action, surely?

      The only candidate I could see gewg_ voting for is Lev Bronshtein.

      "...so you can take the moral high ground."
