North Dakota voters Tuesday rejected a higher bar to amend the state constitution.

“No” votes for Measure 1 led “yes” votes by a margin of about 56% to 44%, according to complete but unofficial results. Measure 1 was for a 60% threshold for voters to approve future constitutional amendments.

The measure’s defeat is a blow to North Dakota’s Republican-led Legislature, which put the measure on the ballot.
