A Minnesota judge ruled that a Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party candidate is ineligible to be sworn in after not meeting residency requirements, giving Republicans a majority in the Minnesota House.
The decision tips the balance of power — at least temporarily — from a 67-67 tie among Republicans and Democrats to a one-seat GOP majority. That slim majority is not enough to pass legislation without DFL buy-in — 68 votes are required to approve bills on the floor — but it would allow Republicans to pick a speaker and make other decisions about how the chamber operates.
Under Castro’s ruling, Johnson will not be allowed to be sworn into office on January 14, 2025, and the seat will need to “be filled according to law,” the outlet reported. Johnson also filed evidence to support his residency at a Roseville apartment in the district — including documents from the property manager showing he resided in a different unit from the one Wikstro’s campaign had surveilled and claimed was unoccupied.
