I noted last week that the Minnesota Republican party, which realized at the last minute it hadn’t filed the necessary paperwork to get Donald Trump’s name on the ballot, had to violate its own constitution in order to do so.

Michael Brodkorb, the former state GOP official who broke the story, now says a top Minnesota Republican elected official is telling him to expect a lawsuit that challenges the party’s actions. “It was bungled and botched. Their fix won’t work,” the elected official told Brodkorb. (The state GOP failed to nominate alternate electors, whose names must be submitted along with those of the presidential nominee, vice-presidential nominee, and electors. The electors and alternates must be nominated at a state convention, but having failed to nominate alternates at the convention in March, the state GOP named them unilaterally.)

Meanwhile, David Shultz, who teaches election law at a local law school, tells Minnesota’s local Fox affiliate, “It’s going to wind up in the courts if for no other reason than to create mischief for the Republican Party.”

He nonetheless believes the state supreme court will “probably” err on the side of allowing Trump on the ballot.

Stay tuned.
