Tyler Kistner, the Republican nominee for Minnesota’s U.S. House seat, second district, is being allowed to intervene in the lawsuit filed by his Democratic opponent over whether the election for that seat should be delayed until February 9, 2021. Kistner supports the state law that says the election must be postponed. His brief is due Friday, October 2. Craig v Simon, 0:20cv-2066.
An interesting twist is that the current SOS, Steve Simon, when he was a member of the House was an author of the law now being challenged.
The state’s brief points out that this case is differentiated from Foster v. Love because it can never result in an election being held prior to the November federal date.
