The first vote was a voice vote and everyone present voted yes (412-0, 21 not present/not voting)

Then a Repub asked for a roll call vote and the second vote resulted (237-178)

It was a procedural tactic by the Republicans with the intent of stalling the House from moving on to other more important business.
