During the vote count it showed 2 Dems as yes votes

the votes switched to zero before the end . What was that about? Was it a mistake or did two Dems plan on voting yes until they saw it would pass with Republican votes and change their vote?

With that said, if any Democrat considered voting for the atrocity, they MUST face a primary!

So either 2 people made a mistake, or there was arm twisting by the democrats too.
