Socialist Mayoral Candidate Loses Dem Endorsement Over Vote Counting Issues

The Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor-Party (DFL) has rescinded its endorsement of Omar Fateh, a socialist candidate for mayor of Minneapolis, due to concerns over vote tabulations at the party’s convention last month.

Fateh, who has openly stated that he will put the interests of Somalis above all, defeated incumbent Mayor Jacob Frey at the party’s convention in an upset result last month. The endorsement was short lived, however, as Minnesota DFL chair Richard Carlbom announced that it will be rescinded in a statement Thursday.

“After a thoughtful and transparent review of the challenges, the Constitution, Bylaws & Rules Committee found substantial failures in the Minneapolis Convention’s voting process on July 19th, including an acknowledgement that a mayoral candidate was errantly eliminated from contention,” he said.

Carlbom added, “Now it’s time to turn our focus to unity and our common goal: electing DFL leaders focused on making life more affordable for Minnesotans and holding Republicans accountable for the chaos and confusion they’ve unleashed on Minnesotans.”

Frey’s campaign earlier this month submitted a challenge to the state DFL over Fateh’s endorsement. The campaign said there was an “extraordinarily high” number of uncounted votes produced by the “highly flawed and untested” electronic voting system used at the convention, according to a report from CBS Minneapolis.

Somalis.   They all look like a bad gene pool that needs a Clorox bath.  Have you ever seen an uglier race of people.  Thanks Obama for letting them in. 

Smokin Joe:
Considering the management in Minnesota is pretty solidly Democrat, I really fail to see how Republicans are getting the blame for their mess.

With Tampon Timmy at the helm, what could possibly go wrong?
