The Harry Reid campaign is today criticizing Sharron Angle for voting against a bill that would have allowed Nevada police to enforce out-of-state restraining orders related to domestic violence. This new ad goes into the rotation on Nevada airwaves today:

The bill passed 31-9 with Angle, then a state assemblywoman, joining a few fellow Republicans in voting against the measure.

Assembly Republicans voted no because they were concerned the law would put police in a position of having to determine whether a restraining order from another state was valid or not.

Police agencies fought for the bill, and the state senate made it law when they unanimously approved it.

Brian Walsh of the NRSC came out with a statement after the ad was circulated this afternoon. Among his comments:

Once again, embattled Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) has reached down deep in the mud and is playing politics with the serious issue of domestic violence. In his latest attack ad released today, Reid claims that Republican candidate Sharron Angle – a former school teacher with two children and ten grandchildren – sides with domestics abusers, and not the abused.
I would remind you that this isn’t the first time Reid has outrageously exploited the serious issue of domestic abuse for his own political gain. In remarks which received national attention earlier this year, Reid cited domestic violence as the reason to pass another $15 billion spending package which he claimed would create jobs.

Here is the video of Reid’s February remarks on the Senate floor.
