The turnout was low, and that is where the conspiracy theories came is saying that it probably had failed, and ALPA wanted it to pass so they through out the votes knowing the turnout would be lower with a re-vote. I did not buy into the conspiracy theory.
I also remember it being 9% not 3%. I also remember the vote being conveniently after 340+ were just furloughed instead of having the vote before so they could participate. It was a long time ago though so memory is fading.
