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.

I....just don't see how they could get away with taking or keeping Trump off of the ballot.  Claiming a "violation of state law" probably won't work....since Democrats violate state laws on an ongoing basis.
