The Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) has revoked its endorsement of State Senator Omar Fateh in the Minneapolis mayoral race following an internal review that uncovered substantial failures in the voting process at the party's July convention. The review panel identified issues including electronic voting machine malfunctions, an undercount of at least 176 votes, the loss of the entire Ward 5 credentials book, and unexplained removal of delegates. These irregularities led to questions about the accuracy and integrity of the endorsement vote, with some delegates reportedly not counted. The decision to rescind Fateh's endorsement came after a challenge from Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and amid allegations that the party's insiders and major donors influenced the process. Fateh, a Somali-American and democratic socialist, had previously criticized the party for awarding regents seats to large campaign donors. The revocation has sparked criticism from several quarters, including U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar, who condemned the party's move as undemocratic. The Minnesota DFL's Constitution, Bylaws & Rules Committee cited “substantial failures” in the voting process as the basis for their decision. Fateh's campaign and supporters have expressed concerns about the fairness of the process, while party insiders have faced backlash for their handling of the endorsement. No criminal charges have been filed related to the voting irregularities. The controversy highlights ongoing tensions within the Minnesota Democratic Party regarding internal governance and the influence of party elites in local elections.
