A federal judge in Minnesota on Oct. 11 dismissed a lawsuit from a pair of Republican electors seeking to block mail-in ballots received a week after election night from being counted.
State Reps. Eric Lucero and James Carson, both Republican presidential electors, filed a lawsuit two weeks ago to challenge Minnesota’s extended deadline for counting mail-in ballots. The extension allows election officials in Minnesota to count mail-in ballots showing up a week after Election Day, as long as those envelopes are postmarked by the eve of Nov. 3.
