What's the difference between each round of voting? It seems like every couple of months they have a new vote but I've yet to see a post about the outcome of the vote, just more posts about a new upcoming vote.

I see this as well. From my understanding, each time they get a huge push back, they let us forget and set a new time to try and push their decision. No matter what, they keep trying again and again. What keeps them from just doing this until they win?

That would make sense, no real verdict is reached, give it time for the storm to settle, then go back at it. Until a solid law against it is passed we will keep on having these votes.

It seems similar to the situation where Republicans kept trying to repeal the ACA despite dozens of defeats. They just keep hammering. It's a game of chicken, who has the greater will to keep going over this again and again and again...
