If he voted with the R's would it be enough to break the Dems trip to NM and get this redistricting through?
It's not the vote but the warm bodies being in the Senate Chamber, quorum. It takes 2/3rds or 21 Senators to make a quorum..... That's why 11 democrats are away keeping the number down to 20.
To pass the redistricting legislation once a quorum is obtained takes only a majority of which the Republicans have .... Ratliff or no Ratliff
