Minnesota Republican Party sues Hennepin County over election judges list

The Republican Party of Minnesota is part of a lawsuit against Hennepin County regarding the 2024 election and its eventual handling of absentee ballots.

A state law requires counties to appoint election judges to absentee ballot boards from lists provided by the two major political parties. Republican Party Chair David Hann says Hennepin County did not select any names from their list of 1,500 provided to the Minnesota Secretary of State’s office.

“I don’t know where the fault is,” Hann said at a Wednesday press conference at the Capitol. “Did the secretary of state not provide the list to the county? I don’t know. I assume he did, and why the county didn’t comply with the law. I don’t know that either.”

Those details should emerge in defendant responses to the lawsuit.
