BALLOT DRAMA: A challenge by the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party to remove Donald Trump and Mike Pence failed in the Minnesota Supreme Court. In September, DFL chairman Ken Martin filed a petition to remove Trump and Pence from the ballot, claiming Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon should not have accepted the Republican Party’s “certificate of nomination” because they did not follow proper procedure when alternate electors were nominated. The Supreme Court order on the ballot challenge focused on whether it came too late, not on whether the GOP erred in its nominating process. The secretary of state had notified the court that a decision needed to be made by Sept. 12 in order to “ensure proper and timely printing of ballots” prior to the first day of early voting on Sept. 23.
