The breakdown is below (pulled from the legislature's Web site). 
Regrettably, one of the "no" votes came from my very own delegate, L.
Karen Darner (that last name is so fitting!).  Two of the other "no"
votes came from northern Virginia (Moran [Alexandria] and Puller [Mt.
Vernon]).  Republicans voted 7-4 "yes," Democrats voted 7-4 "no."
