Minnesota voters petition state Supreme Court to block Trump from 2024 ballot

A group of Minnesota voters has filed a petition with the Minnesota Supreme Court in an attempt to block former President Donald Trump from appearing on state ballots in the 2024 election.

The group, which includes former state representative and DFL Secretary of State Joan Growe as well as retired Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Paul Anderson, filed its petition Tuesday, saying the 14th Amendment’s “Insurrectionist Disqualification Clause” bars Trump from holding public office.

That clause states anyone who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” shall not be able to hold any public office.

Groups in other states have filed similar challenges. In Colorado, the case was recently moved to federal court. Trump’s campaign on Tuesday sent a message about another challenge in New Hampshire to that state’s secretary of state, saying, “There is no legal basis for these claims to hold up in any legitimate court of law.”

Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon released a statement last week, noting his office “has received hundreds of emails, calls, and letters regarding a legal argument that the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution calls into question the eligibility of former President Donald Trump to run for office again.”

Simon said his office “does not have legal authority to investigate a candidate’s eligibility for office” and, therefore, the names of candidates submitted to the state on time will appear on the ballot, “unless a court says otherwise.”

“Minnesota law (Minn. Stat. 204B.44) allows one or more people to challenge in court the eligibility of a candidate to appear on a ballot. Our office will continue to honor the outcome of that process, as we have in the past,” Simon’s statement added.

In response to the filing on Tuesday, his office said, “This morning the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State was notified of a lawsuit filed with the Minnesota Supreme Court asking to disqualify former President Donald Trump from running for office in Minnesota. For the sake of Minnesota’s voters, we hope the court resolves this issue to allow for orderly administration of the elections in 2024.”

No, they aren't. Many are on record saying they want him to win the nomination because they believe, as I do, he won't win the general election. Anything they throw at him now is helping him get the nomination.

Some of them are republicans (I prefer conservatives because the Republican party is only a tad better than the Democrat party) that would prefer someone get the nomination that has a chance of winning the general election.

You do have the option to leave if seeing negative Trump posts triggers you.

You, as usual, are weaker than circus lemonade.
The negative TRUMP BS inspires me greater.
You and your ilk will never challenge my intelligence, wit and inexplicable appeal.
