Minnesota Democrats are suing to kick Donald Trump off the state's ballot

By: Josh King

Minnesota Democrats are suing to kick Donald Trump off the state's general election ballot.

In their lawsuit, Democrats claim the Republican Party of Minnesota failed to nominate the 10 alternates needed for the electoral college.

State law says electors and their alternates have to be nominated at an official convention by the Secretary of State.

The Democrats allege Republicans missed the August 29th deadline and want a judge to give the Secretary of State authorization to remove Trump and Pence from the ballot.

Whether Trump's name is on the ballot or not, it probably won't matter in the heavily blue-leaning state.

Minnesotans haven't voted for a Republican since Richard Nixon in 1972, almost 45 years ago.

According to the latest Morning Consult Poll report Clinton holds a slight 4 point lead over Trump in Minnesota.
