Roll call vote here -- all 75 'no' votes were Democrats. This bill is separate from the Senate's vote earlier in the week to deny HUD and transportation funds to ACORN. The House bill would deny all federal funds to the group, which means Senate has to vote on the same piece of legislation still for it to become law.

Update: you can read the text of Rep. Darrell Issa's "Defund ACORN Act" here.
