Well, This Is Interesting

Illinois just ratified the ERA.  Only one more state is needed before it reaches the threshold, though there is some question about whether or not that will matter.  The original ERA had an expiration date and that has long since passed, so it will create an interesting constitutional issue.

When you look at the states that haven't ratified, it's about what you'd expect: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.  In addition to former slave states, Arizona, Oklahoma and Utah have not ratified. 

Virginia could be the next state to take it up, or maybe Florida.  If it passes, it will be interesting to see what Congress and the Courts do next.

Ironic if Trumpistan led to the passage of the ERA.
