Fateh's Mayoral Endorsement Challenged Over Voting Irregularities | JQJO

Challenges have been filed with the Minnesota DFL to overturn State Sen. Omar Fateh's Minneapolis mayoral endorsement. Incumbent Mayor Jacob Frey and former DFL Chair Mike Erlandson allege irregularities in the electronic voting system used at the convention, claiming it undercounted votes. They cite a discrepancy between the number of delegates present and the votes counted, and question the establishment of a quorum. The Minneapolis DFL chair attributes a delay to a medical emergency, stating the subsequent paper ballot count exceeded the quorum. The DFL will adjudicate the challenges.
