20. No, it isn't.

It's in red to show that only Republicans voted against the bill, and then the number of Republicans who did so is shown with the entire Republican delegation in parentheses. For example, 3(15) means that three of California's 15 Republican reps voted against the bill.

That's explained at the link.

I think Democrats need to remember this the next time TX, LA, MS or the others get hit. n/t denverbill Jan 2013 #1
