Those are the minutes of the day’s activity on the floor. It’s not the official passage of the Resolution. Look on the very next page where an Signing of a Bill by the Speaker is recorded. That’s what’s missing in the Articles of Impeachment. They’re not yet “recorded”. At this point, they are just an “In House” resolution, not passed beyond the walls of the House, and because they are completely partisan, they could be merely called an “open partisan caucus” vote, were it not for the “Nay” votes by the Republicans recorded.

The result of the vote has been entered in the Congressional Record:

The resolution says that "the articles of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate".

There's a difference between exhibiting something and exhibiting "to" something.

Until the House compels Nancy to send the resolution "to" the Senate, the impeachment resolution hasn't been met.

The point remaining that all power is now in the Senate's hands, Mad Nan's delusions notwithstanding.

Not looking for an argument, but this may be helpful:

Although not familiar with the inner ways of the Congress, it appears “exhibit to the Senate” in the Congressional Record is simply a means of providing a courtesy copy of House action that may come to the Senate’s attention.

“Under the rules of the Senate, an impeachment trial may begin only after the House managers deliver the articles of impeachment. Pelosi, D-Calif., said she wouldn’t select House managers until she had a better idea about the parameters of the trial.”

Curt Levey, president of the Committee for Justice, a conservative political group, said “.... it’s entirely a political matter and no one could force the House to transmit the two articles of impeachment in a timely manner…It is hard to imagine a court getting involved…”

The games will continue at this level until Pelosi and her team determine otherwise. Who could blame her for trying to avoid taking her case to jurors who are clearly biased despite an oath “to do impartial justice”?

McConnell may rue the day he recently declared he would “coordinate with the defendant”; likewise, Lindsey with his “I will not be fair” statement.

Have a nice weekend.
