Minnesota Senate Rejects Bill to Move Primary from August to June

On April 23, the Minnesota Senate rejected the bill to move the primary (for office other than President) from August to June. See this story.

An earlier blog post about the Minnesota bill said that if the bill passed, the effect would be to automatically move the petition deadline for independent presidential candidates, and the presidential nominees of unqualified parties, from August to June. That was incorrect. Minnesota decoupled the presidential independent deadline from the primary date several years ago.
