Does anybody know about what time we could expect the vote to take place?

Is it going to happen today?

Don't forget about Andy! He supports the bill and might be the deciding vote!

@Mike: Today for sure at some point. I'm guessing in the afternoon but who knows. I think this will be the last vote on this issue for this session in NH.

The bill is expected to go to the House, and be voted on after the lunch break. I'm told we have enough votes this time around, so it should pass this afternoon. Would be interesting to know if Governor Lynch will be waiting around to sign it later this afternoon, as Baldacci did in Maine last month.

@David: Great news about having enough votes! I don't know how they can do an accurate preliminary count with so many reps there, though. That House chamber has more members than some small rural towns in NH I'm sure.

@Bruno: The 3rd largest in the English-speaking world, behind the 1st and 2nd largest, the UK and US Congress, respectively. So odd.
Some potentially awful news from HRC's site:
"UPDATE: The perils of a citizens’ (part-time and little pay) legislature. One of our supporters needed to work today, but was able to be here for two hours. Unfortunately he picked the wrong two hours. Vote did not happen yet and he just left for work."
I don't know what our margin of error is.

@K: Well let's not go ballistic over that. Hopefully the margin won't be like last time around and we'll win comfortably. Should be happening soon.
