A federal judge on Friday ruled that Minnesota's congressional election for the 2nd District could proceed despite the death of a third party candidate in September. State law says an election must be postponed if a major party nominee dies 79 days ahead of Nov. 3. The ruling ordered Simon to stop telling voters that the 2nd District's congressional election will be delayed. "Voters should continue to vote this race on their ballots, and pursuant to the district court ruling, those votes will be counted," Simon wrote in a Friday statement. MINNESOTA HOUSE CANDIDATE'S DEATH DELAYS ELECTIONCraig is running against Republican Tyler Kristner, a Marine Corps veteran who raised more than $1 million by July and beat Craig's second-quarter fundraising efforts.
