A Minnesota Voter is Challenging the Republican-submitted Primary Ballots that Only include President Trump as a Candidate.
Jim Martin, a Small Business Operator from Lake Elmo who is Registered as an Independent, filed the Legal Challenge ahead of the State’s March 3rd Primary.
The Suit says he didn’t want to Participate in a “Soviet-style” Election where Political Parties decide who is on the Ballot.
“I want to be in an American election. It’s something that sets us apart from the world.” Martin said.
Martin’s Challenge alleges that Both Parties left out Candidates but was Sparked by the Republican Ballot.
“This is a very stupid system and it is unconstitutional because political party chairs shouldn’t be in control of who is on the presidential primary ballot,” Erick Kaardal, Martin’s Attorney, said.
The Minnesota Voter said he wants to Vote for Roque “Rocky” De La Fuente, a Republican Businessman.
Chairwoman Jennifer Carnahan of the Republican Party of Minnesota stood by her Choice to Exclude other Candidates saying her Responsibility is to get the President Reelected.
Martin also took note that the President gave $50,000 to the Republican National Committee (RNC), the same day the RNC provided Money to Minnesota’s Republican Party. Carnahan Denies these Donations are Connected, calling the Allegations “egregious, absurd and irresponsible,”.
The Minnesota Supreme Court is Scheduled to Hear the Case Jan. 9th, but the Minnesota GOP worries that they would Not be able to Change the Ballots in time for Early Voting on Jan. 17th if they Lose.
The State Supreme Court Denied a Petition from the Secretary of State and Attorney General’s Office to Expedite the Decision to allow Time to Prepare Ballots.
Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) and Former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld (R) are also Running against the President.
Georgia's Republican Party has also Submitted Ballots with only Trump's name, and several Other States have Canceled their Primaries or Caucuses, and will only have Trump's name on the Nov. Ballot.
