Overview

• The DFL’s Constitution, Bylaws & Rules Committee found the electronic system was “substantially flawed,” undercounted the first ballot by 176 votes, and wrongly removed candidate DeWayne Davis from later rounds.
• Sanctions include barring the Minneapolis DFL from any 2025 mayoral endorsement, two years of probation under state executive committee supervision, and required best‑practices and compliance plans.
• The state party directed that all Minneapolis mayoral candidates receive voter‑roll access this year, and Fateh loses the DFL label and usual party resources tied to an endorsement.
• Fateh’s campaign condemned the move as disenfranchisement and said the bid continues, while Mayor Jacob Frey praised the ruling as a needed correction and urged a broad public debate.
• Nearly 100 people signed challenges to the convention results, and progressive leaders including Rep. Ilhan Omar criticized the revocation as overturning delegates’ will, with unions planning a City Hall news conference Friday.
