Minnesota hasn’t had a presidential primary since 1992, and is usually the second most populous state (after Washington state) that uses caucuses instead. But Senator Julianne Ortman (R-Chanhassen) has introduced SF 1205, which would bring back a presidential primary and hold it in March. The bill would also move the primary for other office from August to March. The bill has two co-sponsors, both Republicans. See this story.
Has the Independence Party lost its ballot position in Minnesota? Or, do they not qualify to hold a presidential preference primary?
