Here, I did your homework for you....

(Minn)204C.06 Conduct in and near polling places.

Subdivision 1. Lingering near polling place. An individual shall be allowed to go to and from the polling place for the purpose of voting without unlawful interference. No one except an election official or an individual who is waiting to register or to vote shall stand within 100 feet of the entrance to a polling place. The entrance to a polling place is the doorway or point of entry leading into the room or area where voting is occurring.

You opened up your school to be a polling place, so, IMO, you abide by the "polling place" rules and lose your "private property" rights as long as you are a polling place.

Thank you to all who responded with useful advice. I called the local GOP office and they put me in touch with an voter fraud hotline that was staffed with some lawyers. The advise I got was to ask them, and any political group, to leave our property. We do not want to have any negative press and cause a scene by calling the police. In the end, the moveon.org "precinct commander" agreed to take his sign away and we agreed to have them on our property. Just so you know, they were not approaching any voters. In the few hours that I was watching, only about 4 people came up to be "checked in." After each "check-in" the "commander" would get on his cell phone.
