As House Democratic leadership condemns the Republicans’ proposed continuing resolution as “partisan” and “unacceptable,” eyes will be on the five House Democrats who voted in favor of a voter integrity bill in July.

Lawmakers returned to Capitol Hill on Monday and are preparing to vote on a continuing resolution with the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act attached as they attempt to avoid a government shutdown. The messaging bill, which would bar noncitizens from voting in federal elections, is backed by House GOP leadership and former President Donald Trump and would extend funding for the government until March 28 next year.
