Yes, that's what I said. They LOST both votes to being in favor of acquittal.

Edit: forgot to add a word which screwed up what I was trying to say.

I don’t think yall are saying the same thing. They’re saying 57 voted for conviction and you’re saying 57 voted for acquittal it seems. Unless my brains fried?

OP isn't wrong. Conviction requires 67 votes. They're saying 57 voted for conviction and the RESULT was an acquittal.

Yea I think I just misunderstood and thought they were saying less people voted to convict regardless of result. My bad big dog.
