The trial over an effort in Minnesota to keep former President Donald Trump off of the 2024 ballot began Thursday at the state Supreme Court as a similar case continued in Colorado.
The lawsuits in both states allege Trump should be barred from the 2024 ballot for his conduct leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. They argue Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results violated Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which says no one who has “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” after swearing an oath to support and defend the Constitution can hold office.
A group of Minnesota voters, represented by the election reform group Free Speech for People, sued in September to remove Trump from the state ballot under the 14th Amendment provision. The petitioners include former Minnesota Secretary of State Joan Growe and former state Supreme Court Justice Paul H. Anderson.
God I love this state. I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else
Say that in February.
MN boy here. I’ll take -10 over 100 degrees any day.
Yeah… I’ll take…. 60’s and sunshine….
And when it’s at either extreme… I can easily imagine being somewhere else. Then, reality kicks in and I realize everywhere has its shitty weather.
I live in this state, winter is my second favorite season
so do I winter is my second most hated season. (Okay, I love spring and autumn. 60’s and sunshine. for 2 weeks out of the year.)
Minnesota is pretty great. I moved up here from Florida while Rick “Defraud Medicare” Scott was governor, people kinda thought I was nuts but it’s become pretty clear that was an excellent decision.
Florida is a wild place where you go to test your immune system it seems. A safe haven for REAL PATRIOTS.

Rick Scott was a Florida governor
I’m aware, but that doesn’t really answer the question I asked.
Edit: lol at everyone downvoting a genuine question. It’s pathetic how angry people get when someone is confused. The Lemmy community is quickly becoming exactly like Reddit in some of its most toxic qualities.
That’s because your question was a non sequitur. Why is a raven like a writing desk?
No soap, radio!
How so? Seems to me they said Rick Scott defrauding Medicare was a good decision, and I’m just asking why they think that.
Are you trolling? It’s obvious based on OPs comment that they think moving from Florida to Minnesota was a good decision, to get away from Rick “defraud medicare” Scott.

Many people likely wouldn’t know Voldemort (Rick Scott) was the Governor of Florida and not Minnesota.

I tried writing on a chicken with a sharpie once but it started being a little pecker about it.
They were saying moving was the good idea.
The very fact that we cant throw these particular bank robbers in prison because they stole so much money that they are now too big to jail, is an indictment of our entire system
I wish MN could have a case for Trump beyond this one. The MN Court would have a field day
