At 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, Minnesota's Supreme Court hears oral arguments that could remove Rep. Bob Barrett (R-Taylors Falls) from the November election ballot. A District Court judge has found Barrett does not live in his 32B district as he claims.
The Uptake will live stream the hearing. Watch here by clicking on the Youtube:
Michael McIntee at the Uptake notes:
If Barrett loses, not only would he not be on the ballot; the people who live in the Taylors Falls district of 32B could be without representation in the Minnesota House until after Valentine’s Day — more than a month after the 2017 legislature convenes.
