Senate roll call: How they voted on fiscal cliff bill

Minnesota's and Wisconsin's U.S. senators all voted for a compromise bill meant to avert the fiscal cliff of across-the-board tax increases and sweeping spending cuts.

Democrats Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken of Minnesota both backed the measure, which passed the Senate after midnight on New Year's Day. In the Wisconsin delegation, Democrat Herb Kohl and Republican Ron Johnson also voted in favor of the legislation.
