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?

      This assumes that the sponsors actually think about anything with their brains.
