The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that all eight of Georgia's Republicans voted against the bill in the House late Tuesday.
They broke with the state's GOP senators, Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson, who had voted for it just after the new year began.
Among Democrats, John Barrow of Augusta voted no. Sanford Bishop of Albany; David Scott of Atlanta; and Hank Johnson of DeKalb County voted yes.
Democratic Rep. John Lewis of Atlanta did not vote, as he returned home after his wife died Monday.
The last-minute deal in Congress to avoid the "fiscal cliff" sent world stocks climbing Wednesday.
I wish they had made some real cuts in spending. No matter how much they take in at a time when everyone is hurting. They are at the spending limit. You don't just keep spending and think it will work out. They say republicians want to cut needed programs. But I think it would be better for us to cut spending than to have our creditors cut off our credit. Our credit score wasn't cut because of the fight. It was because nothing was done to change the spending or to show means of covering the cost of spending. I would like to have steak tonight. But I'm going to have beans and maybe when I get in a little better shape with my money I can have a steak again. I'm not going to run over to a friend and borrow the money for a steak. They need to hold back on any program that adds cost until the country is back to the point we need to spend again.
