Overview

  • The Minneapolis DFL filed a formal appeal to the Minnesota DFL State Executive Committee after Omar Fateh’s mayoral endorsement was voided.
  • The state party’s review reported roughly 176–200 missing or undercounted votes, an unsecured check-in sheet, and a lost Ward 5 credentials book.
  • The decision stripped the endorsement, barred the Minneapolis DFL from endorsing a mayoral candidate in 2025, and put the local party on two years of probation.
  • Mayor Jacob Frey’s campaign challenged the convention outcome over the electronic voting system, Frey praised the state review, and Fateh called the reversal insider-driven.
  • Seventeen DFL officials, including Rep. Ilhan Omar and Minneapolis City Council President Elliott Payne, condemned the revocation, and no decision date has been set as the Nov. 4 election approaches.
