Democrats' Minnesota House boycott echoes earlier walkouts in other states

  • Democrats in the Minnesota House are boycotting daily sessions to prevent Republicans from gaining a temporary majority due to a vacancy in a Democratic seat.
  • The Minnesota Democrats have asked the State Supreme Court to intervene in the situation.
  • This tactic of boycotting has been used by lawmakers in other states over two dozen times to thwart opponents.
  • Historical examples include the 2011 Wisconsin protests and the 1979 Texas 'Killer Bees' incident, where Democrats fled to block legislation.
