The Missing Five: The official Senate roll call shows Voss received 50 Republican votes at 10:47 AM. One Democratic vote was cast for her for “decorum.” But five Republican senators—Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, and Bill Hagerty—say they were not in the chamber and did not vote. “I was in a classified briefing on weather modification research,” Senator Paul told reporters. “I don’t know how my name got on that board.”
The Time Stamp Anomaly: The official electronic voting tally in the Congressional Record shows “Voss, Helen” confirmed at 10:47 AM.
