The Minnesota House began its third deadlocked week due to a Democratic boycott over a power struggle with House Republicans. The state House GOP argues that it can rule with its 67-66 majority after successfully challenging the residency of a Democratic representative.

The Minnesota House has been unable to get anything done as Democrats and Republicans fight over which party should be in control.

Democrats in the Minnesota House who have boycotted daily sessions are using tactics that lawmakers around the country have tried at least two dozen times before to thwart their opponents. It's not even a first for the state.
