LUNA VICTORY ON NEW PARENT PROXY VOTING SETS UP BIGGER GOP STANDOFF NEXT WEEK

The failed rule vote came after a group of Republican lawmakers, lead by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), joined Democrats in opposing an attempt to quash a vote on proxy voting for new parents.

Luna has pushed to allow new parents to vote by proxy, while Republican leadership has rejected her bill as unconstitutional, fearing it could lead to a further expansion of proxy voting.
