Romney was on Hugh Hewitt's show tonight and explained that there is a move afoot by some liberal pro-homo activists to get legislators to not show up for the vote. There must be a quorum (101 legislators) present and at least 25% (50) must vote for putting the measure on the ballot. If they fail to get a quorum present then there is no vote and the measure will not get on the ballot. It is believed the pro-ballot forces have the 50 votes, so the antis are trying to prevent the quorum. Real democratic, eh?

Yeah, well if someone calls a quorum call then the legislature can call in the Sergeant of arms and the state troopers to arrest the legislators who have abandoned their duty, and compel them to attend the session.
