1. The vote was 51 yeas, 44 nays, strictly along party lines

with 6 exceptions. For procedural reasons, Harry Reid was the only Democrat among the nays.

And 1 Democrat (Landrieu-LA) and 4 Republicans did not vote.

See http://politics.nytimes.com/congress/votes/112/senate/2/179 :

"S.3369
On Cloture on the Motion to Proceed S. 3369
A bill to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to provide for additional disclosure requirements for corporations, labor organizations, Super PACs and other entities, and for other purposes.
Cloture on the Motion to Proceed Rejected in the Senate by 9 votes"

2. Yeah, Reid wants to challenge it, hence the Nay vote.
