THAT WAS FAST: Trump-Pence now on the Minnesota ballot.
Ryan Furlong, a spokesman for Minnesota’s secretary of State’s office, said that Trump’s filing is completed and the GOP ticket will appear on the office’s website listing those on the ballot soon.
He noted that major party candidates have until Monday to file for ballot access.
Minutes after The Hill spoke to Furlong, Trump and running mate Mike Pence’s names were on the secretary of State’s website.
NBC affiliate KARE11 in Minneapolis reported earlier in the day that the state’s Republican Party hadn’t filed paperwork for Trump to get on the ballot.
I wonder what happened to the state GOP’s legal requirement to “officially elect alternate electors” outlined last night by Michael Brodkorb.
