When Minnesota Democrats take control of their state House in January 2019, one early order of business will be disconnecting a button that allowed majority Republicans to mute their microphones. The parties have skirmished over the capability since the GOP installed it in 2015, with Democrats saying it was being used to silence them and Republicans maintaining it was necessary to keep order.
