Okay, what's going on here? Minneapolis's version of Zohran Mamdani, Omar Fateh, won the endorsement of the 'Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party/DFL.. And now, all of a sudden, they have revoked their endorsement of Omar Fateh.. What da hell?!
Hmmm, here's what AI says: AI Overview Omar Fateh lost the endorsement of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party for Minneapolis mayor due to a flawed electronic voting process at the July 2025 city convention.
The state DFL's Constitution, Bylaws & Rules Committee investigated challenges to the results and found "substantial failures" in the voting system.
Key findings of the DFL's investigation: Undercounted votes: The electronic voting system used for the first ballot significantly undercounted the votes by 176.
Erroneous elimination of a candidate: The vote miscount led to the improper elimination of another candidate, DeWayne Davis, [also Black] who should have proceeded to the second round of voting.
Lost credentials: The delegate credentials book for an entire ward (Ward 5) was lost by the Minneapolis DFL.
Unsecured check-in sheet: The master check-in sheet was not properly secured during the convention.
Outcome of the DFL's decision Endorsement vacated: The state DFL committee officially vacated, or revoked, the endorsement for Fateh.
No new endorsement: The Minneapolis DFL is now barred from holding another endorsing convention for the mayoral race this year.
Two-year probation: The Minneapolis DFL chapter was placed on probation for two years under the supervision of the state party.
Reaction to the decision Mayor Jacob Frey's campaign: The campaign of incumbent Mayor Jacob Frey, who challenged the initial endorsement, praised the decision, calling the process "inaccurate and obviously flawed".
Omar Fateh's campaign:His campaign decried the move as an attempt to "disenfranchise thousands of Minneapolis caucus-goers" and blamed the "establishment" for being threatened by his progressive message.
Divisions within the party: The controversial decision has deepened the schism between the party's progressive and more moderate wings, with prominent figures like U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar condemning the reversal.

Umm, it's the usual Democratic Party trickery we've seen before with Bernie Sanders.. They did the same around Kamala Harris when they blocked the required primaries to replace Biden etc...
As we speak, the elites of the Democratic party are trying to sabotage Zohran Mamdani's campaign in New York city, with Hakeem Jeffries & Chuck Schumer still not endorsing him. And this is exactly why Trump became president!
The Democratic Party sucks--they have castrated themselves!
