Statehood questioned, so North Dakota to vote on fix

source

North Dakotans will vote on whether the state needs to "clarify" its status after a local history buff discovered a flaw in its constitution that has created a state of confusion — over whether North Dakota is even a state at all.

The 82-year-old Grand Forks resident, John Rolczynski, says he believes North Dakota is still technically a territory, 122 years after it officially joined the United States.

The misunderstanding stems from one word that was omitted in the state constitution that was written up in 1889, Rolczynski told msnbc.com.

so now we're cuttings government expenses...and states too

If North Dakota isn't technically a state, wouldn't the government have to give back all the federal taxes they paid?

Hmmmm
