While some legislators carried genuine concerns over women deserving the right to vote, most legislators pragmatically believed that giving women suffrage would entice more <a href="/wiki/East_Coast_of_the_United_States" title="East Coast of the United States">Eastern</a> women to immigrate to the remote and sparsely populated territory. In 1854, only six years after the <a href="/wiki/Seneca_Falls_Convention" title="Seneca Falls Convention">Seneca Falls Convention</a>, the issue was brought to a vote by the legislature. Women's suffrage was defeated in a tied vote of 9 to 9 (an absolute majority, or 10 votes, was needed to pass laws). This was due to one legislator voting against this bill because he had an American Indian wife and only white women would have been able to vote.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>A decade later, the <a href="/wiki/Wyoming_Legislature" title="Wyoming Legislature">Wyoming Legislature</a> would become the first body in the <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a> to grant women's suffrage in 1869. </p><p>The issue over female suffrage did not diminish.
