Wow.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) blocked Dem Rep. Cori Bush’s (D-MO) Amendment that would allow felons to vote.
I called for a roll call vote to prevent this radical left-wing legislation from being passed by a simple voice vote. @RepCori Bush’s amendment was soundly defeated in bipartisan fashion. pic.twitter.com/YzXjIBLT6y

Bipartisan defeat of @CoriBush's "Violent Convicted Criminals Can Vote" amendment on the House floor.
I called for a roll call vote on this one so that Dems couldn't ram it through via voice vote. pic.twitter.com/1tfB5cYME7

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) upstaged her legislative rival Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) on Tuesday by defeating her amendment that would allow violent convicted felons to vote in national elections.
Bush attempted to slip in an amendment to H.R. 1 that would have expanded the voting rights of violent convicted felons and make it more difficult for quality public officials to be elected. By putting the measure to a vote, Greene was able to kill the measure.
It seems that Democrats wanted to pass this without having to put their name on the record.
Cori Bush responded:
For the first time ever, the House took a vote on whether or not to end the cruelty of denying incarcerated people their right to vote. Our amendment didn’t pass, but 97 Democrats voted with us.
We will not stop fighting until we dismantle white supremacy in all of its forms.
