House Democrats in Minnesota's legislature are threatening to skip out on the first two weeks of the legislative session starting Jan. 14.

House Democrats in Minnesota's legislature are threatening to skip out on the first two weeks of the legislative session starting Jan. 14, deepening political discord, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported. If the Democrats fail to show up, Republicans won't have the quorum — meaning the minimum number of people required — that they need to legislate, the Star Tribune reported.

Secretary of State Steve Simon will preside over the House’s first day, where he will make the call about a quorum. Republicans might also refuse to allow Democratic State Rep. Brad Tabke to take office, as his 14-vote election victory has been contested in court after county elections officials lost 20 absentee ballots in one precinct, the Star Tribune reported.
