The Senate voted 73-23 to extend the law,

Not sure of the mix there; I didn't check to see who voted which way.

The Senate voted 73-23 to extend the law,

Not sure of the mix there; I didn't check to see who voted which way.

30 Democrats joined 42 Republicans and one independent in voting for the bill. Three Republicans — Mr. Lee, Mr. Paul and Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — voted against the bill, as did 19 Democrats and one independent.
