    Not voted, I believe. It is for those who have not yet cast a vote in the allotted time.

    Another reason for the not voting yet, as I understand from conversations today, some members may be allowed to vote no (Democrats), if they have enough yeas. The reason being, that if a Democrat is in a Republican area, they may need to go home and say that they voted against the bill.

    But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
