Do I understand the voting / results wrong? Looking at this: https://howtheyvote.eu/votes/189270

The measure voted on is "Extension [of Chat Control 1.0]", it was voted 36% "for" and 49% "against" (so result is "against"), and looking at "Political groups", majority of EPP MEPs voted "against" (137 out of 164 votes).

I think the point of confusion is that there was an amendment before the final vote, which was way closer.
