A con con can be bad news and I think Indiana would be the 34th state needed to meet the 2/3 majority requirement.
So 33 states have already voted for a Constitutional Convention?

*EDIT: After some research, I have discovered that one scholar says that counting proposals over the past two centuries there are 33. Whether that will pass scrutiny is another question. Article V is pretty vague and has never been implemented, and some scholars say that all proposals must be worded exactly the same in order to open a Convention. All in all, there are more questions than answers and it would likely be left to the courts to sort out the requirements of calling an Article V Convention.
