why were these witnesses not called before the vote
They, and a bunch of documents, were subpoenaed, but Trump ordered his staff to ignore the subpoenas. That's why Trump has been impeached for obstruction of Congress.
There is zero evidence that he is doing that
No, he didn't. He said that 'quid pro quos happen all the time, get over it'. And he is right.
“He also mentioned to me in the past that the corruption related to the DNC server – absolutely, no question about that”, a confident Mulvaney declared.
“That’s it, that’s why we held up the money”, Mick flatly stated, throwing up his hands for effect.
Stunned, a reporter asked for clarification: “So — so — so the demand for an investigation into the Democrats was part of the reason that he decided to withhold funding to the Ukraine?”
“The — the look back to what happened in 2016 certainly was part of the thing that he was worried about”, Mick said. “And that is absolutely appropriate”.
Prove it. Let me save you some time. He said nothing of the sort.
They were illegitimate. Congress' answer to him...
The same day the House impeached President Donald Trump, a federal appeals court asked whether the House Judiciary Committee still needs to hear from former White House counsel Don McGahn as part of its impeachment inquiry.
If we have witnesses vital to impeachment, and it is in the House where discovery is made, why were these witnesses not called before the vote?
Can anyone explain why the Democrats took a vote if they believe there are vital witnesses that still need to testify?

There is an interesting article on that here: www.rawstory.com...
Some people are saying that Justice Roberts holds more cards than Mitch McConnell.
Slate notes that the rules explicitly grant “any member of the Senate” the right to object to Roberts’ evidentiary decisions, and if the chief justice stands firm in his opinion, a senator may demand “a vote of the Members of the Senate” on “any such question”—with a simple majority sufficient to overturn Roberts’ ruling.

Your source doesn't say the subpoenas were "repealed". It says the judge wants to know, since Trump has been impeached, if MCGahn is still a person of interest in their impeachment inquiry, and if they still want/need a ruling.
The same day the House impeached President Donald Trump, a federal appeals court asked whether the House Judiciary Committee still needs to hear from former White House counsel Don McGahn as part of its impeachment inquiry.
But the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals asked Wednesday whether McGahn's case was still worth pursuing. A three-judge panel is set to hear the case Jan. 3. After the House voted Wednesday to impeach Trump for accusations of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, the appeals court asked whether the McGahn case needs expedited treatment and whether it needs to be decided at all.
He even said if he were Supeonaed, he would show.
A US House of Representatives Intelligence Committee official stated that President Donald Trump's former National Security Adviser John Bolton has threatened to take the committee to court if it subpoenas him to testify in the impeachment probe.

Right. Twice the courts ruled in favor of the Democrats subpoenas. Trump is taking it to SCOTUS.
