The North Dakota State Senate has unanimously voted down an opportunity to allow the state’s voters to decide via referendum whether the state should add legalized online poker to its short list of approved gambling activities. On Tuesday, by a 47-0 count, as reported by the Grand Forks Herald, the state’s Senate rejected House Concurrent Resolution No. 3012, which would have placed the legalization of online poker on North Dakota’s 2022 general ballot.
