"The bill, now sponsored by Rep. Paul Broun, Georgia Republican, was approved on a 333-92 vote, with all but one Republican and 106 Democrats in favor of it. That's a major jump from last time, when a majority of Democrats voted against it."
Why shouldn't A Democrat vote for it, the firewall in the Senate will stop it and the reps can go campaign on it and fool the voters again.
" Still, despite the overwhelming support, the law is likely to die. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who had previously indicated support for such an audit, reversed himself in 2012 and said he wouldn't let the bill come to the Senate floor."
