North Dakota voters have approved Measure 1, a ballot measure that sets an age limit for members of Congress representing the state. The measure, which passed with 61.83% of the vote (5,578 votes), bars individuals from being elected or appointed to Congress if they would turn 81 before their term expires. The decision was projected by Decision Desk HQ at 9:11pm ET. Legal experts are skeptical about the measure's chances in court, anticipating constitutional challenges.
