ST. PAUL, Minn. (KMSP) - Thursday night, the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party filed a petition with the Minnesota Supreme Court to remove Donald Trump and running mate Mike Pence from the Minnesota ballot. The DFL claims Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon shouldn’t have accepted the Republican Party's "certificate of nomination" last month because they didn’t follow proper procedure when alternate electors were nominated.
"It is apparent that clear errors occurred in the Republican process of selecting alternative electors for getting Donald Trump on the Minnesota ballot," said DFL Chair Ken Martin, who filed the petition. "It is incumbent upon political parties to follow the rules binding our elections and in this instance it does not appear that the Minnesota Republican Party did so."
According to the petition: “the State Republican Party’s leadership ignored state law. Specifically, on August 24, 2-16, the State Republican Party Executive Committee met to select and approve alternate presidential electors itself. This process, however, did not occur at a State Convention.”
