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.

    Ah, you finally got to +5.
    Well deserved. A very important comment.
    Maybe if you had put The Right to Work for Less in bold, that would have happened a bit earlier.

    ...and you need to use the word "hypothesis" more.
