In a petition to the Minnesota Supreme Court, Democrats in the state House accuse Republicans of acting "unlawfully" when they conducted House business on Tuesday, including electing a speaker, with no DFL members present.

A Democratic leader said they ‘had to deny quorum’ so Republicans understand they can’t even convene the house ‘without bipartisan collaboration’

As expected, Minnesota House Democrats and Secretary of State Steve Simon appealed to the state Supreme Court on Tuesday, asking the high court to declare that Republicans aren’t able to elect a speaker or conduct any other business without 68 members present.
