Senate in limbo as Lorimer case looms over end of session
Improbable that Senator La Follette will oppose Lorimer, delaying action. The unfinished popular election of senators bill and the post office appropriation bill may be called next. With eight days left, debate will likely continue and many appropriation measures risk failing, shifting responsibility to a new Democratic House.

Lorimer Vote Inquiry Ends with Exoneration Ruling
The report asserts that key witnesses were coerced and bribed to testify against Lorimer, but other testimony supported by Brown, Broderick, and Wilson undermines those claims. It concludes that if the seven contested votes are removed as corrupt, Lorimer retains a majority of 101 votes from 195, surpassing the needed 98, with no shown direct wrongdoing by Lorimer himself.
