Voting In the 75th Congress (1937-1939) the U.S. House of Representatives had 333 Democrats, 89 Republicans, and 13 members of other parties. Suppose that a bill passed the House with 31 more votes in favor than against, with 10 times as many Democrats voting for the bill as Republicans, and with 36 more non-Democrats voting against the bill than for it. If every member voted either for the bill or against it, how many Democrats, how many Republicans, and how many members of other parties voted in favor of the bill?
