The Democrat defectors include Senator Lisa M. Boscola (D-18), Senator Marty Flynn (D-22), Senator James Andrew Malone (D-36), Senator Nick Miller (D-14), and Senator Christine M. Tartaglione (D-2). All of the other 18 Democrats in the Senate voted against Senate Bill 9, while all the Republicans voted in favor.
Almost as if having a two party system full of centrists and fascists (but we repeat ourselves) is a bad idea.
