I found this article’s subtitle from the NYT homepage a little ironic:
An 87-13 vote reflects deep divisions? Perhaps the NYT just wishes there were deep divisions, because 85% sounds like an overwhelming majority to me.
UPDATE: A reader noted the actual vote was 86-13. The NYT has also updated their homepage: “The votes, 86 to 13 on one measure and 60 to 39 on the second, reflected not only deep divisions between Republicans and Democrats but within the Democratic ranks as well.”
