Repeal broadband privacy rule

Let internet providers sell your browsing history. A yes vote sided with the telecom carriers.

What happened

This was a straight up-or-down vote. With more Yeas than Nays (50–48), it passed.

The tally

50 Yea · 48 Nay · 2 didn't vote. Officially recorded as “Passed 50-48.”

Did the no-shows matter?

John Isakson (R-GA), Rand Paul (R-KY) sat it out. And it was close enough to matter. Had those 2 voted Nay instead, it would have failed.

Party split

Yea: 50 Republicans. Nay: 46 Democrats, 2 Independents.

Crossed party lines

None. Every senator voted with their party.
