There are three stages of whipping. The most basic one is a simple head count. That's when the whip's staffers calls those of every other party member and asks how they're going to vote. The information is then entered into a spreadsheet or onto a paper list of members called a voting sheet. If the vote is close, the whip moves to the second stage, in which members of the whip teamâthere are nine deputy whips in the House and 11 in the Senateâapproach the fence-sitters and hear out their concerns. If a concern can be easily addressed, it gets fixed.
