A Minnesota Democratic committee on Thursday revoked the party’s endorsement of mayoral candidate Omar Fateh, a democratic socialist challenging the incumbent Democratic mayor of Minneapolis.
Supporters of incumbent Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey allege there were widespread problems with the July convention’s electronic voting system, among other issues.
At a hearing on the challenges earlier this week, Minneapolis DFL officials maintained the state party should not intervene because Frey supporters couldn’t prove the system breakdowns impacted the outcome of the final delegate count during the convention, suggesting Frey would have still lost to Fateh, according to Axios Twin Cities.
A draft report released by the committee notes the challengers to Fateh’s endorsement did not have to prove alleged violations, or system breakdowns, would have led to a different outcome for the challenges to be examined by the state party.
