Actually, I believe there are 435 members of the House. Which meanss four others did not vote. And with a group that large to have 4 of them (less than 1%) out sick or for some other personal reason would not be unusual.
What hppened is that there was bi-partisan support for the vote and it passed overwhelminly. There were 109 who were unwilling to go on record AT ALL. That could be construed two ways, the one they are giving to the press where they are so enraged that they would not even particpate, or the one they hope their constitutents see and a political hedge by these whimps that should somehting come of it, they can say that they never voted “for” Holder.
These people are beyond contempt.

Thanks for setting me straight Jeff along with a couple of other FReepers. I don’t know where I got the 500 figure, but it was in my head, and I mean IN MY HEAD there were 500 In the House of Representatives.
I appreciate the corrective responses.
