A vote to approve would have made North Dakota the first state to make such an overture to the high court, after the state House passed the measure last month.

16-31 was the vote.

26 NOs from Republicans (out of 42 republican) 5 NOs from all North Dakota state senate dems

    How did the sponsors even think this would work? Just like “hey please can you just put out a memo that you changed your mind?” Are they asking the court to re-adhudicate the same case? Do they have new evidence? Is the resolution compelling the state Senate to be the plaintiff in a new law suit that they want the court to allow to skip all the lower courts? Like what the fuck even is this?
