The Times Examiner has had numerous requests for a complete listing of lawmakers and how they voted on removal of the Confederate battle flag from the Confederate Soldier Memorial. Following is a listing of Senate and House members, those who voted for and against, and those who did not vote.
There is a great deal of residual anger among constituents regarding the vote. It is not so much about the removal of the flag, but the callus and disrespectful manner in which it was done.
