Democrats sue to get Donald Trump off Minnesota ballots
Twin Cities Pioneer Press ^

Minnesota Democrats have sued to get Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s name removed from the state’s general election ballots.

The Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party’s Thursday lawsuit claims the Minnesota Republican Party failed to nominate its presidential electors, the people who cast the state’s 10 electoral college votes, in accordance with state law. Keith Downey, the chair of the Minnesota Republican Party, said last month that the party called a special meeting to approve alternative electors because it had previously neglected to do so.

The suit, which was filed directly to the Minnesota Supreme Court, adds a new level of chaos to an already strange election season. It could cause the parties to spend some of the rushed final eight weeks of the election fighting in court, distracting from other campaigning. While the suit is a technical one, if successful, it could affect the entire presidential election.

If they want a war, they can certainly get it.

Or a test run to see if this tactic works. If so, they then try to gin up some “discrepancy” in other states (OH, PA, etc.) and use the friendly state ruling as precedent?

If I were a Democrat I would cringe at the thought of facing Trump’s legal team in court. Doesn’t take much imagination to figure that he hires the best.

The left has no shame. They have been so used to getting their way for all these decades. And now, they are in danger of losing their power.

They are sore losers.

Don't be surprised to find that the Soros/Clinton machine is behind this.

Soros involvement would not surprise me at all. The past Secretary of State Mark Ritchie was a Soros stooge.

This is just the first attempt by Dems to disenfranchise the voters they claim to defend whenever they want to loosen voter registration laws... which are extremely lax in Minnesota.

Their next attempt will be to eliminate as many military votes as possible as they have done in the past.

Democrats want to destroy democracy. This election might be decided by fraudulent votes. If it can’t be stopped, we’re done.
