The ABC News political unit has put together a “whip count” of how members of the U.S. House of Representatives are likely to vote on the Syria resolution with assistance from the BBC Washington bureau. The count is based on public statements, interviews with aides, and reporting — it could change. ABC News will continue to update this list as new information becomes available.
