GOP FAIL: Donald Trump Not Listed on Minnesota Ballot
Gateway Pundit ^ | August 24, 2016 | Kristinn Taylor

Posted on 08/24/2016 7:56:21 PM PDT by bobsunshine

Just days after his supporters and motorcade were attacked by protesters in Minneapolis at a GOP fundraiser, the Minnesota Republican party has not submitted the names of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump and his vice presidential nominee Mike Pence to the secretary of state’s office for the November election, it was reported Wednesday night.

A check of the sample ballot listed at the website for the Minnesota secretary of state shows the tickets of Democrat Farm-Labor Hillary Clinton, Libertarian Gary Johnson, Green Jill Stein, anti-Trumper Evan McMullin and others with Socialist, Marijuana and other parties–but no Donald Trump.

A check of the filing status of federal candidates at the secretary of state website again shows no Donald Trump.

According to the same page, Trump, as a major party candidate, has until August 29 to file.

we are seeing the depth of the corruption..both parties are liars and thieves with the same goal in mind, control of the sheeple and the continual bleeding of the poor..

Come out of her , people of God in Christ, she is babylon the whore, as we have lost the way of God in our lives..
so live a few more years and be subjugated or live for good and love and declare the ways of man evil and dead..we need the good Lord.

Americans will soon hunt down the GOP
for they were not content with arming al Qaeda,
and not content with USING the IRS against conservatives,
and not content with slavery and rape of their ISIS
with Obama.

You could probably fit all the true conservatives in Minnesota in a high school gym.

Making “ring” shots.

Actually, Nate Silver’s fivethreeeight site lists Minnesota as more winnable than Virginia and Wisconsin. (Silver’s a lib, but he’s pretty honest with his numbers)

It’s Somalisota now.
But, know that their permit to purchase and carry permit applications have skyrocketed.
I suspect and hope that a lot of MN prior nonvoters will be voting this election.

Since 1976 Ronald Reagan is the only Republican to win electorl votes from
Minnesota and that was in 1984. Minnesota seems to be locked in to the Dems.

I care. Living in Minnesota, I have the rare experience of always voting for the presidential candidate who loses the election. I don’t want to tar my reputation.

Actually, I think MN went for Nixon n 1972 - so I do have one blemish on my record.

I should clarify my statement. I have the dubious honor o always voting for the presidential candidate who loses the MN electoral votes - with the one exception in 1972 when somehow Minnesota actually voted GOP!.

I consider it a privilege to vote against the MN DFL candidates. :>)

Evidently, the guy that noticed this is not a Trump fan.

He just asked the question to the Secretary of State why Trump’s name wasn’t on the sample ballot.

Question to @MNSteveSimon -> Why is Donald Trump not listed on the sample ballot available on the SOS website? pic.twitter.com/t7F4EvM610

There’s no way this was an accident!

Now the same guy says they didn’t follow procedure and it still could be contested.

“Again: Process for Trump to be on MN ballot. #MNGOP didn’t officially elect alternate electors – trouble ahead? Yep.”

And this:

“No procedure for #MNGOP state exec to elect/appoint national electors – problem now for #MNGOP in sending Trump’s name to SOS for ballot.”

The cleanest way for #MNGOP to solve mess is to call state convention to elect alternate national delegates – but they can’t, no time.

I’d like to know what you find out.

It looks like Trump is on the official list of candidates in Colorado. The Secretary of State's entire list of people currently qualified as candidates for president and various other offices is here:

Soros has bought (with large donations: read Hillary-type bribes) the Secretaries of State in many, if not all, of the states.

More of the diabolical works of the Hillary/Huma/Soros/Dem Machine.

Most people that see themselves intimidated by anyone associated with the Clintons know that they could die if the don’t comply.

Or in the case of top level eGOPers lose their perks.

The electoral college is, of course, the most important thing, but the popular vote isn’t irrelevant. I think if Trump wins the electoral college but loses the popular vote, we are going to see some rioting from the leftists, and they will be questioning his legitimacy for his whole time in office. So, yes, Trump needs to get the votes of his MN supporters counted.

Beyond that, it’s not right to disenfranchise anyone. The people of MN should have the right to vote for the Republican nominee—but I’m sure they’ll get this worked out before the deadline.

Ronald Reagan didn’t win Minnesota in ‘84 or ‘80. He came close in 1984, but fell short by less than a quarter point(49.72 to 49.54) & lost Minnesota to Mondale. Mondale was from Minnesota & got just enough native son votes to eke out a victory there. Reagan won all 49 other states in that election though! Reagan by a landslide. The last Republican to win Minnesota was Nixon in 1972 ;)
