Supreme Court of Minnesota

Joan Growe v. Steve Simon, Minnesota Secretary of State

February 7, 2024

Summary

The court held that petitioners had statutory standing to challenge placement of the former President's name on both 2024 presidential ballots, but only the challenge to the Republican presidential nomination primary ballot was ripe. It further held that including the former President's name on that primary ballot was not an error under Minnesota law because the primary is an internal party election, and it dismissed the primary-ballot claim with prejudice while dismissing the general-election claim without prejudice. No separate opinions were issued.
