Virginia Dems Run Away From Vote to Support Israel



The resolution passed by a wide margin of 70-2, with a large number of Democrat members choosing to sit out from the vote by leaving the chamber. The two votes against the resolution came from Democrats Vivian Watts and Scott Surovell. - Washington Free Beacon

Video of the vote shows that Republicans called for another vote on the resolution once the members returned to their seats.

“Having voted on the prevailing side of the [resolution] of which we just voted, I move for another vote now that about 20 members are back in their seats over here,” said Del. Jackson Miller, a Republican from Manassas.

Shortly after his call for another vote, they all left again.
