Just what Erc said he'd do if he still lived here!

FWIW the Minnesota Supreme Court recently flipped to a 4-3 DFL appointed majority, and the Pawlenty appointed Chief Justice is the sort of person who has "#NeverTrump" written all over her. This could be interesting.

There's definitely a part of me that's glad this is going forward...though I'm really, really surprised it's the DFL that's going through with it.

I figured it would be the Libertarians or Evan McMullin, who would only gain from such a move.

I think the goal is obviously to depress Republican turnout and reap the benefits downballot.

Quite right.  The DFL really has nothing to lose here; only Democrats in other states (and even then it's arguable).

DFL sued too late; who knows what would have happened if they'd filed two weeks ago.
