Fischbach resigns from state Senate, is sworn in as lieutenant governor

http://www.startribune.com/fischbach-to-resign-state-senate-be-sworn-in-as-lieutenant-governor/483692271/

Why? The session is done for this year. Had she resigned before the Senate would have been evenly divided but I doubt it would have made a difference.

And she will be Lt. Gov only until Jan 1 (or whenever the new gov will take office). Unless she will be a running mate to the Republican candidate.

What am I missing?

She will now comply with the state Constitution making any lawsuit against her worthless.
