Trump not on Minnesota ballot
Trump not on Minnesota ballot -- yet

Washington (CNN)Donald Trump is not on the ballot in Minnesota yet, as Republicans scramble to fix a potentially embarrassing oversight before the state's Monday deadline.
A sample ballot produced on the Secretary of State's website Thursday morning showed third party candidate Evan McMullin and candidates for many other parties on the ballot, including former Democratic candidate Roque "Rocky" De La Fuente, now with the American Delta Party.
"We now have paperwork in hand necessary for filing the Republican ticket and are waiting on one more item. The Republican Party of Minnesota has indicated to us they would provide that today," Secretary of State spokesman Ryan Furlong said in an email Thursday morning.
A request for comment from the Minnesota Republican Party was not immediately returned, nor was a request for comment from the Trump campaign was not immediately returned.
In order to appear on the ballot, the party must submit 10 electors and 10 alternate electors -- the people who will officially cast Minnesota's votes for president -- to the Secretary of State
McMullin is mounting a third-party bid as a conservative, supported by anti-Trump Republicans.
Former Minnesota Republican operative Michael Brodkorb spotted the omission late Wednesday and detailed the problems in a series of tweets.
"Again: Process for Trump to be on MN ballot. #MNGOP didn't officially elect alternate electors - trouble ahead? Yep." Brodkorb tweeted early Thursday morning.

Minnesota Democrats move to kick Trump off ballot
By DANIEL STRAUSS

Minnesota Democrats are taking steps to kick Donald Trump off the state's ballot, arguing that the Minnesota Republican Party improperly put Trump's name on there.
Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party Chairman Ken Martin filed a legal petition with the state Supreme Court looking to remove Trump from the ballot.
"The Minnesota GOP did not elect to elect alternate presidential electors at the state convention earlier this year. After being notified that they had failed to provide the names of alternative electors by the Secretary of State’s office, Republicans decided to appoint alternate electors in a closed-door meeting rather than electing them. This is violation of state law," the Minnesota DFL's statement reads.
The move follows a minor kerfuffle in August when Trump and running mate Indiana Gov. Mike Pence's name were initially absent from the state ballot. The Minnesota Republican Party scrambled to provide the state secretary of state's office the necessary paperwork, and it seemed the situation was resolved when Trump's name was officially listed online.
However, Michael Brodkorb, a former deputy Minnesota Republican Party chairman, pointed out on Twitter that the Minnesota GOP's rules don't allow for such a fix, as the DFL's suit also argues.
"Last night #MNGOP 'appointed' alternate electors to fix problem - BUT this isn't allowed in #MNGOP constitution - so we have a mess," Brodkorb tweeted.

So the Republicans make basically a procedural error and the socialist/communist/statist/dimocRATS try to capitalize on it. Lenin and Stalin would be proud of them.
