Minnesota Democrats are lobbying to remove Donald Trump from their state’s presidential ballot, according to reports.
The Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party has filed a legal petition with their state’s Supreme Court to oust the GOP’s presidential nominee, accusing Republicans of bypassing the democratic process, Politico reported Friday.
The party claims that the GOP did not properly choose alternates to its electoral college, so the entire slate of 10 electors, their alternates, and the presidential ticket should be thrown out.
“The Minnesota GOP did not elect alternate presidential electors at the state convention earlier this year,” Minnesota DFL Chairman Ken Martin said in a statement. “After being notified that they had failed to provide the names of alternative electors by the Secretary of State’s office, Republicans decided to appoint alternate electors in a closed-door meeting rather than electing them. This is violation of state law.”
Martin filed a separate petition against Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon for accepting the appointed alternates, the Star Tribune reported Thursday.
Simon reportedly notified the GOP in August that they had failed to select alternates at the May convention. After the party's executive committee met and chose alternates without the input of delegates, Simon accepted their new "certificate of nomination" later that month.
According to state law, electors and alternate electors must be nominated at an official state convention, the Star Tribune said.
“This language is clear is clear and unequivocal: Alternatives ‘shall’ be nominated — not unilaterally by party leaders — but by ‘delegate conventions,’ ” the petition reads.

Cut off SNAP & all USDA PAYMENTS tominnesota
These are the in-breds who are represented by Al Franken in the U. S. Senate, thanks to some really crooked recounting of ballots. They should be laughed out of court.
........I’m no lawyer but my layman experience tells me this case will turn on “standing” and “equitable remedy” among others.
By “equitable remedy” I mean the “relief” the little Marxists dims seek far outweighs ALL other considerations. As we saw with Obama, the “courts” are highly unlikely to get in the middle of this.
Also, the dims will most likely get poured out on summary judgment UNLESS they have a pocket judge.........which dims are good at. Trump will be on the ballot in 59 days.
And the Judge should say, Ok Donald Trump is hereby REMOVED from the Ballot.
Now since it is No Longer a FAIR ELECTION, I am ORDERING HILLARY, Johnson, and Stein be Removed from the Ballot Also.
Watch them LOSE THEIR MIND
CUT OFF ALL PAYMENTS TO MINNESOTA
There fixed it for you
That rat better not figure on getting the cheese in 2020 if Hillary wins. HE WILL NEVER GET MY VOTE. Nor ANY of the other Never Trumpers.
Minnesota DFL is afraid to lose to Trump! WOW!!!!!!!!!
he’s really REALLY got them scared!!!!
this is gonna be FUN! (I didn’t expect he would win MN, ha ha ha ha! looks like he’s really gonna do it...)
What a bunch of creeps in a creepy place. Anyplace that would elect Jessie Ventura governor and Al Franken a senator must have residents who live under rocks. IDIOTS ALL!
IIRC, Minnesota was the ONLY state that came through for Mondale.
(Mondale also carried the Dist. of Columbia)
Democratic has no standing - can’t show how they have been ‘harmed’. Case will be tossed.
Ugh, way to ruin a perfectly peaceful day!
I wonder who sat up all night trying to come up with this? Maybe Soros’s attorneys are working around the clock to find any way they can to oust Donald? They know Hillary’s going to go down for the count any moment now....
yes indeed we agree
an added thought... I think they do hope to keep HilLiary propped (and drugged) up long enough to “win” the election (rigged as necessary)
then they can stop giving her the stimulant shots (or just put something else in the needle) and the totally unvetted (thanks, sold-out media!) VP will take over (he’s reported as a Soros pick, and how else would HilLiary have found him anyway? there were several far more obvious potential VP candidates who could have added a lot more to the ticket, in reality)
I hope Mr Trump has people vetting HilLiary’s VP guy and that he starts pointing out the problems with our electing him to, in effect, our Presidency...
or something like that
When rats can’t win by legitimate means ....
