An election year fight over a crime bill ends in a 225 to 210 vote to shelve the measure as Democrats seek cross‑aisle support.

Ronald Machtley faces district backlash after backing an earlier version. Machtley, seeking Rhode Island governor, notes public attitudes shifted as the bill became muddled.
