The Post is reporting today that House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) has announced that legislation to grant the District a voting seat in the House of Representatives will be debated again, and hopefully passed, in mid-April. Hoyer noted that the Democratic leadership is looking for ways to prevent last Thursday’s debacle, when Republicans used a procedural motion to derail the legislation. D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton warned against any further Republican foot-dragging on the issue, stating in an article published today in Roll Call:

Republican procedural game-playing cannot defeat a principled and bipartisan voting rights bill for 650,000 Americans. We don’t get mad–but we do get even.

Damn straight, guys. And though we’re unhappy to see the legislation be delayed again, we’re pleased its reconsideration will coincide with the April 16 Voting Rights March.
