They didn't change their vote from nay to yea. The first vote was on the merits of the bill, and on the passage of the bill.. They voted nay on the merits of the bill and on the passage of the bill.

The second vote was on the language of the bill that had already been passed on its merits. On the second vote, they were agreeing to allow the Committee Report (on the language of the bill) to pass.
