I know a few things about the Minnesota election certification process, and this has no chance of succeeding.

🚨NEW: Only hours before the state is set to certify its election results, a bunch of Republicans have filed a lawsuit in the Minnesota Supreme Court to block it.

7. It did not succeed, the Board has already certified the election. See below:

Shortly before the meeting, the Minnesota Supreme Court rejected a petition by a handful of Republican lawmakers and candidates and several voters who sought a temporary restraining order to delay the canvassing board’s vote, alleging a variety of problems with the election.

The order by Chief Justice Lorie Gildea said the plaintiffs provided no evidence that they had properly served it on all parties. (my bold)
