The current Emergency Economic Stabilization Act vote tally comes at 207 for the plan, 226 against, with one vote remaining. A total of 218 votes were needed to pass the vote. House members can still change their vote, and as a result the number of yes votes did tick a few points higher.
Democrats voted 141 for, 94 against. Republicans voted 66 for, 132 against.
All three of the major indices hit multi-year lows. At session lows, the Dow, Nasdaq and S&P 500 were down 6.3%, 6.7% and 7.2%, respectively. The major indices currently post massive losses, although they have recovered quite a bit from the knee jerk reaction decline.
