The divide between the environmental voting records of Democrats and Republicans widened last year, the League of Conservation Voters said.
The major environmental group, which almost overwhelmingly supports Democratic lawmakers and legislation, released its annual National Environmental Scorecard on Wednesday.

It gave 129 House Republicans and 11 Senate Republicans scores of zero, while 140 House Democrats and 26 Senate Democrats got 100.
Compared with 2022, that’s about 30 more zeros for House Republicans and seven more for Senate Republicans. On the Democratic side, 40 more House Democrats scored a 100, as did 17 more Senate Democrats. That year featured Democratic majorities in both chambers in addition to Joe Biden’s presidency.
