I heard what was said to be the audio of the vote. It was a voice vote, which means the side that yelled the loudest won. You really couldn't tell what was going on, there was so much noise. It was not a roll call vote in which each member's vote was recorded, so what your congressRat told you was almost certainly a flat out lie, not that that would be a surprise.

I heard the same audio on Hannity's show. They followed the voice vote with with a 15-minute roll call (individual vote).

Update - Neither Boehner nor Blunt are expected to be in attendance at Monday’s talkfest, and its unclear if they will show up at any point during the week, according to GOP leadership aides.

The session will not be televised, since C-Span does not control the cameras inside the House chamber. Rather, those come under the purview of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and the Democrats, and they’re unlikely to do anything to help Republicans.

But Republicans felt they got a lot of good press out of Friday’s “revolt,” so they will be back at it again, and younger GOP lawmakers were clearly energized by the tactic, something not evident among Republicans for most of the 110th Congress.
