Overview

• The party’s rules committee vacated the endorsement, barred the Minneapolis DFL from holding another 2025 mayoral endorsing convention, and placed it on two years of probation under state supervision.
• The report found the first ballot was undercounted by 176 votes, wrongly eliminated candidate DeWayne Davis, and concluded the electronic voting system was substantially flawed.
• Additional irregularities cited included a lost Ward 5 credentials book and an unsecured master check-in sheet used at registration.
• Fateh remains a candidate for November but loses official DFL identification and access to party voter files and other resources.
• Fateh’s campaign called the action disenfranchisement by establishment insiders, while Mayor Jacob Frey and supporters hailed it as a necessary correction; Minneapolis DFL officials have defended the process and may appeal.
