The Minnesota Supreme Court has weighed in on the standoff in the state House. Justices say 68 members are needed to conduct business — one more than Republicans have on their own.

But the court declined to order a specific action beyond that, saying they assume the parties can work it out on their own with the quorum matter clarified.

And a Republican candidate who narrowly lost a race for the Minnesota House won't ask the Supreme Court to step in.

Those stories and more in today’s evening update from MPR News. Hosted by Emily Reese. Music by Gary Meister.
