| Description | During the campaign season, the list of high-profile Republicans who publicly opted for Horner over Emmer steadily grew, and the Republican Party of Minnesota was quick to attack them, too.
Now, following an a election that Dayton won by fewer than 9,000 votes pending the conclusion of recount proceedings, the GOP is going even further to punish those Republicans who dared to throw their weight behind Horner’s candidacy.
On a 59 to 55 vote, delegates at the Republican Party State Central Committee Saturday approved a two-year party ban on 18 prominent Republicans who publicly supported Horner in the election. The vote stops the Republicans from being delegates or attending the Republican National Convention.
The list includes former U.S. Sen. Dave Durenberger, former GOP governors Al Quie and Arne Carlson, and prominent GOP donor George Pillsbury. Their support, some say, could have tipped the scale in Emmer’s favor. |
