70% of Republicans (some small government, eh?) and 40% of Democrats voted yes.

All my math is wrong. See below for correct numbers.

Republican: 126 / (126 + 88 + 0 + 4) = 58%
Democrat:   147 / (147 + 59 + 0 + 7) = 69%

Sixty nine, dude!

What math are you doing? I got 69% aye from the Democrats and 58% aye from the Republicans.

Republican: (126 ÷ (126 + 88 + 4)) * 100 = 57.80% Democratic: (147 ÷ (147 + 59 + 7)) * 100 = 69.01%

88 is 69.84% of 126… Oh, I see my mistake. Haha. Thanks for the correction. I calculated what percentage of yes the noes are, instead of what percentage of total voters voted yes. I’m hella dumb! In my defense, I was still drinking my morning coffee, and nobody should ever listen to anything I have to say that requires rational thought before I have two cups of coffee.
