Minn. Supreme Court declines to keep Trump off 2024 ballot

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : Also at issue could be the extraordinary amount of power given to the Secretary of State if petitioners won their case, Hudson signaled during oral arguments last week.
49% : The case was spearheaded by the nonprofit Free Speech for the People which represented eight petitioners, including former Secretary of State Joan Growe and former Supreme Court Justice Paul Anderson.
48% : "Thus, although the Secretary of State and other election officials administer the mechanics of the election, this is an internal party election to serve internal party purposes, and winning the presidential nomination primary does not place the person on the general election ballot as a candidate for President of the United States," Hudson wrote in the court's opinion.
31% : The court rejected Fein's assertion that Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon should keep Trump off the 2024 ballots as it was not ripe for the court to rule on, in an opinion penned by Chief Justice Natalie Hudson.
27% : For his part, Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon did not take a stance on the lawsuit beyond stating that he does not have the authority to unilaterally take Trump off the ballot but that he would follow a court order to do so.
