This article explains that Will Gardner, who is the only candidate listed on the June 12 Republican primary ballot for North Dakota Secretary of State, is withdrawing. The last part of the article discusses the options for the Republican Party. Either another Republican will file as a write-in in the primary, or not. If not, Gardner will certainly win the primary but then, because he has withdrawn, there would be no Republican on the November ballot.
The Libertarian Party is running Roland Riemers for Secretary of State, and the party needs 5% in that race to remain ballot-qualified.
On May 19, the New York Working Families Party of New York endorsed Cynthia Nixon for Governor, which makes it more likely that she will be the party’s nominee in November. See this story.
On May 18, President Donald Trump endorsed John Cox for California Governor. See this New York Magazine story. This makes it likely that Cox will do well enough in the June 5 primary to place second, thus qualifying for the November ballot.
The Minnesota legislature is about to adjourn for the year, as of Sunday, May 20. A bill to make petition deadlines earlier for newly-qualifying parties and independent candidates did not pass. The bill, HB 1393, moved the primary from August to June. Because Minnesota law ties the date of the primary to the petition deadlines for new parties and also independent candidates, the bill would automatically have made those deadlines two months earlier.
The Minnesota bills to forbid cities from using ranked choice voting for their own elections, HB 3690 and SF 3325, also failed to pass. The Senate bill had passed one committee but did not advance beyond that.
The bills to make the legislature non-partisan also failed to pass. They were HF 1843 and SF 3759.
