G: Here’s a clean table of all 100 U.S. Senators’ votes on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) during the Senate roll call on July 1, 2025. The measure passed 51‑50, with Vice President J.D. Vance casting the tie-breaking “yes” vote. Three Republicans crossed party lines to oppose it, and every Democrat (and independent caucusing with them) voted "no." citeturn0search6turn0search2

Let me know if you'd like to include the population of Split-vote states or want updated (2024 estimate) values.
M: You’re missing one of the no states. It should be 23 to 23, right? That’s what the table looks like at first glance.
G: You're correct that the initial count was off. The table has 23 states that voted entirely "No" and 23 states that voted entirely "Yes."
Here are the corrected population totals based on the 2020 Census:
