Another week of waiting, it seems. According to voting rights activists we spoke to, legislation to grant the District a voting seat in the House is still stalled as congressional advocates figure out how to remove an amendment that would gut the city’s gun laws. The amendment, which made its way into a Senate version of the legislation courtesy of Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.), is widely supported in the House while being roundly opposed by local officials. National coalitions and organizations that support the voting rights legislation, like the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, NAACP and AFL-CIO, have promised to apply pressure to members of Congress by scoring a vote on whether the gun amendment stays or goes. If you remember, the amendment ended up in play in the House version of the bill to begin with when the NRA threatened to score the same vote. There’s apparently a lot of score-keeping going on on the Hill these days.
