Most of the Republicans on the Armed Services Committee reportedly voted yes or ‘not present’ on an amendment in a budget bill, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), that requires women to register for Selective Service, or the draft. And only two Republicans — Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) — voted no on the NDAA.
The vote reportedly took place behind closed doors, but some committee members, like Sens. Cotton and Hawley, spoke openly about their no votes and their concerns about the draft amendment. Moreover, reports circulated online revealed a further breakdown of the vote.
