Minnesota Supreme Court Keeps Independence Party Nominee on Ballot

On September 13, the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Bert Pexsa should remain on the November ballot.  He is the Independence Party nominee for State House of Representatives, district 11B.  When he filed his declaration of candidacy, he accidentally wrote “Independent Party” instead of “Independence Party.”  A Republican filed a lawsuit against the Douglas County Auditor, charging that the Auditor should not have placed Pexsa on the ballot because of the error.  But the State Supreme Court disagreed.  See this story.  Thanks to Bill Van Allen for the link.  The case is Clark v Reddick, A101527.
