Rep. Tom Perriello (D-VA05) has just cast the deciding vote to bring Guantanamo Bay detainees to Virginia. According to a Capitol Hill source:
Rep. Perriello just voted with Speaker Pelosi on an amendment to allow for funds to close Guantanamo Bay facility and move those detainees to Virginia. Perriello voted against an amendment, offered by Rep. Lewis of California, that would have prohibited the closure – the amendment failed 212-213 with Mr. Perriello casting the deciding vote.
Update: Joining Perriello from Virginia were Reps. Boucher, Connolly, Moran, and Scott. Two Republicans, Tim Johnson of Illinois and Ron Paul of Texas, voted with the majority as well.
