The Bailout Vote Begins

The House is voting right now on the bailout package.

The bill passes if there are more “yes” votes than “no” votes. Supporters of the package are looking to get 218 votes, which would be a majority of members and would thus guarantee passage.

Voting began at approximately 1:08 p.m. On Monday, when the bailout bill failed, the vote was held open for approximately 40 minutes, as leaders on both sides tried to get opponents of the bill to switch their votes.
