Sans Sanford, None Oppose Violence Against Women Honor

| | Comments (0)

The House unanimously adopted a resolution on Monday commemorating the anniversary of the Violence Against Women Act, meaning there was one less no vote than when the law was reauthorized in 2000.

That's because South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford is no longer in the House. In 2000, his was one of three GOP votes against a stand-alone extension of the Violence Against Women Act. Ten days later, he cast the sole vote against a bill to curb sex trafficking that included the extension.
