As power-sharing negotiations continued in the Minnesota House Tuesday, Republicans opened another front to pressure Democratic-Farmer-Labor representatives to return to the state Capitol. Minnesota Republicans announced they’ll make good on their threats to file petitions to hold recall elections for 66 Democratic-Farmer-Labor House members boycotting the legislative session.

The Republican Party of Minnesota sought to ramp up pressure on absent House Democrats on Tuesday, announcing that it would file recall petitions against DFLers who’ve boycotted legislative proceedings for three weeks.

Minnesota Republicans want to boot out every House Democrat who's boycotted the session — now in its fourth week. The state party launched an effort to have recall elections for all 66 Democrats in the chamber.
