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

Posted on 09/10/2016 7:27:58 AM PDT by Pollard

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.

Correction, if it can’t be stopped we are headed for civil war #2. I don’t know about you but I won’t sit down while a bunch of corrupt criminals destroy what’s left of our country. I owe it to my kids to take a stand and fight.

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


As shown in this brief, historically correct, clip it only takes one shot to start, but alas, is there one today to fire that first shot?

And con-artist, remembering how Minnesota was sold on Obamacare,

Rep. Tim Walz, D-Minn., “They just didn’t understand how we could save money on this by adding more people to the system, how it was going to impact them in terms of their premiums and their access to care.”

If I were a Democrat I would cringe at the thought of facing Trump’s legal team in court.

Unless, of course, you already have the judge bought and paid for.

I was thinking the same thing. It should be a cakewalk for Hillary in that state even with Trump on the ballot. The desperation is no longer being hidden by the Democrats. They’re in full panic mode now!

Jesse "Governor One-Term" Ventura won because he talked like a Libertarian in an election where the Democrats and Republicans gave the voters a choice between a Democrat and a Democrat-Lite. Once he got into office without a party, though, he governed like a moderate Democrat, because Democrats will ally themselves with anyone if it means they still get to control the agenda.

Which is something all NeverTrumpers and Johnson/Weld supporters should ponder.

It would be smart for Hillary to back down on this. The backlash would be huge.

Everyone is blaming the Dems, but when I read this:

...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.

I interpret this to mean the GOPe traitors purposely sabotaged Trump's ballot registration.

What we are seeing Mr. Trunp running is a peaceful revolution. If by any chance Hillary wins it, a violent revolution is likely.

Trump and we will remember Minnesota, and ‘Baby Boy’ Al Franken, in the years ahead. Stupid is as stupid does.
