Republicans won the Minnesota House after a judge ruled that Democrat state representative-elect Curtis Johnson “did not meet the residency requirements and is not eligible to serve as the representative for Minnesota House District 40B.”
“Curtis Johnson is enjoined from taking the oath of office and from acting as a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives for House District 40B,” the judge wrote.
The judge’s decision comes as the Minnesota House of Representatives is tied at 67-67.
Johnson’s Republican opponent, Paul Wikstrum, filed a lawsuit arguing Johnson did not meet the residency requirements.
During an evidentiary hearing, Wikstrum proved Johnson lived in his home outside of district 40B, not in the apartment he was renting.

The judge’s order comes as the incoming House of Representatives is tied at 67-67 among Republican and Democrat members. If Johnson isn’t seated, then Republicans will, at least temporarily, have a one-seat majority in the Minnesota House, which would be enough to elect a speaker.

I think the Minnesota Supreme Court will reverse the ruling.
!!!!!
:-(
Think Jim Mora. Playoffs?!!
Mn AG and SS are deeply saddened.
Shame this judge wasn’t around for Obama

Will Minnesota Dems bother appealing the decision?
Minnesota? OK, I’m surprised at this one...
The GOP may pick up another MN House seat won by a Democrat by 14 votes. 20 absentee ballots were inexplicably destroyed and not counted. The GOP challenger is seeking a new election which could further tip the balance in the House to the GOP.
Temporary win. The rat will win the special election.
The rats stole one seat by throwing out 20 ballots and “winning” by 14 in the west suburbs.

I know it’s Minnesota but the Surrender Monkeys have to grab what they can whine about when they can because Trump is now the President of the world after they spent a full year whining that “They will cheat!”
The Dhimmicraps will just install him anyway.
