Election judges’ question about state election rules under advisement
The cases of election judges questioning state election rules were taken under advisement by Ramsey County District Judge Shawn Bartsh on Friday.
The combined hearings — held four days before the November election — addressed four lawsuits brought up by election judges through the Minnesota Voters Alliance.
The civil suits address the interpretation of a state law that requires election judges to give ballots to voters who have been challenged as ineligible, as long as they self-certify that they are actually permitted to vote.
Bartsh said she will decide on a jurisdictional question pertaining to one of the cases before the election. She did not specify when she will decide on the other cases requesting temporary restraining orders.
