The measure earned a lopsided 282-144 vote but failed nonetheless because it did meet the required two-thirds majority. Under House rules, the bill needed 284 affirmative votes to pass based on the total number of lawmakers voting.I guess that maybe the Oregonian has had to let all of their editor go to save money. Replacing the bolded "did" with "did not" would of course actually make sense out of this nonsense.

I’d bet the editors at the leftist rag were in such a snit that this didn’t pass they couldn’t read.
