The Senate Iran roll-call page still returns access denied in the fetched stack. [1]

The paper's June 2 article on the missing official Iran roll call set the rule: no count, named votes, absences, or procedural conclusion without a readable official record or a clean source carrying it. Its earlier brief on source blockers said blockage slows the story down. It does not license guessing.

That rule still holds. The Kaine Senate page also returned 403 in current research, leaving the paper without a fetchable statement body for the claimed move to curtail Iran war powers. [2]

X wants a tally because tally politics is legible. Who defected? Who hid? Who gave the president cover? Those are legitimate questions. They are also downstream of the record. Without the motion, count, absences, and named ayes and nays, a war-powers vote becomes a rumor wearing a number.

The source note is therefore the article. It is not glamorous. It is democratic hygiene.
