Port: North Dakota Senate refuses to record votes on same-sex marriage resolution

HCR 3013 is dead, but the real story is how it went down. As Rob Port points out, the North Dakota Senate voted on one of the year’s most contentious issues—without a recorded roll call. Lawmakers had the chance to go on the record, but most chose to keep their votes in the dark. Whether it was fear, strategy, or something else, the result is the same: the public was left in the dark on an issue that deserved full transparency.
