Trump currently not on the ballot in Minnesota

[Erc]

Ack, lost a larger post due to internet troubles, but anyway:

The MN state law is pretty clear here:

I attended the MN GOP convention as a seated alternate, and can confirm we did not nominate elector alternates.  (Strange that I didn't catch that, as I definitely read this section of MN law before the convention, as I was advocating using this section of the law to submit someone other than Trump as the "party candidate for president.")

The law requires that the convention nominate elector alternates, and it is too late to hold a convention now (the Call to Convention must be sent out at least 5 days in advance), and you can't change the Constitution (except in the particular areas, e.g. delegate selection, where we have delegated changes to particular committees) without a convention.

It's too late now; Trump should not appear on the MN ballot.  As an MN GOP alternate, I'm an aggrieved party, and if I still had standing (i.e. if I still lived in MN) I'd sue.

I'd like to be able to vote against him! No doubt I will.

But yeah this sums up the disaster that is the Minnesota GOP well if anyone was wondering. This is arguably even worse than when they got evicted from their HQ for rent non-payment.

Also LMAO@at the idea that a non-statistically irrelevant number of Somalis voted in the Republican caucus, or that his margin of victory could be accounted for by them even if every single one that's an eligible voter voted for him.

The precinct I caucused at has a fairly sizable Somali community; pretty sure every single person at my caucus was white or Hispanic.

State DFL has announced they will not challenge Trumps spot on the ballot.

Embarrassment for the MN GOP, even  the "Legal Marijuana Now Party" managed to get on the ballot without any problems.

Question is whether other candidates (Mike McMullen seems the obvious choice) would challenge, or any disaffected GOP delegates (like myself) disenfranchised by the GOP screwups.
