Several Minnesota Democrats are calling out their Republican colleagues who sought to add Minnesota to a lawsuit aimed at rejecting the 2020 election results in four states, saying their actions were "reprehensible."
Bluestem Prairie first reported the action eight DFLers took Tuesday to register their protest and dissent in Tuesday's Journal of the House.
In December, eight Minnesota representatives and seven Minnesota senators sent a letter to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton urging him to include Minnesota Secretary of State Steven Simon in the lawsuit that challenged election results – and President-elect Joe Biden's victory – in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
