Due to the death of General Election candidate Adam Charles Weeks on 21 September 2020, a special election for this seat will be called for 9 February 2021. When a major party nominee (the "Legal Marijuana Now" Party is a major party in Minnesota) dies within 79 days of Election Day, a special election is held for that office on the second Tuesday of February. The state canvassing boards will not certify the vote totals from the 3 November general election for this office.
Reference: Secretary of Stae Simon Releases Statement on Death of CD2 Candidate

The Democratic nominee is suing to have the election in November because Federal law requires Congressional elections to be held in November. U.S. District Court Judge Wilhelmina Wright will hear Craig v Simon, 0:20cv-2066, on Wednesday 7 October at 9am.

9 October 2020: The 3 November election for this office is restored. Adam Charles Weeks's name remains on the ballot. U.S. District Court Judge Wilhelmina Wright enjoined Stat. § 204B.13. that requires postponing the election date for when a major political party candidate for that seat dies within 79 days before the general election. "Minnesota Statutes Section 204B.13 shall not be enforced as to Minnesota's Second Congressional District race in the 3 November 2020 general election..." Case No. 20-cv-2066 ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO INTERVENE AND GRANTING PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION.

9 October 2020: The Republican nominee, Tyler Kistner, appealed the District Court decision that the election must be held on 3 November 2020 and asked the U.S. District Court to stay the order. Craig v Simon, 20-3126.

22 October 2020: A 3-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied Tyler Kistner's appeal. Kistner has stated he will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

27 October 2020: The Supreme Court rejected the appeal

Notes

Candidates for office appear on this page in italics where 'The Green Papers' does not yet have independent confirmation from a legal election authority that the person has been officially certified to appear on the ballot.

Primary dates marked "presumably" and polling times marked "reportedly" are based on unofficial or estimated data (especially as regards local variations from a jurisdictionwide statutory and/or regulatory standard) and are, thereby, subject to change.

"FEC" indicates the Federal Election Commission (FEC) Campaign Finance Summary.

When available, we post each candidate's FEC identification number, the date of their most recently filed Report of Receipts and Disbursements, their "Tot" [Total Receipts (contributions received or what came in: FEC Form 3, Line 16, Column B)] and their "Dsb" [Total Disbursements (expenditures or what was spent: FEC Form 3, Line 23, Column B)]. A link is provided to the Federal Election Commission's Summary Report for those who might wish to explore the details.

If a candidate raises or spends $5,000 or less, he or she is not subject to FEC reporting requirements.
