Overview

• State Democrats’ Constitution, Bylaws & Rules Committee revoked the endorsement and put the Minneapolis DFL on two years’ probation under state supervision.
• The Minneapolis DFL is barred from holding another 2025 mayoral endorsing convention or issuing its own endorsement for the race.
• Findings cite a first ballot undercounted by 176 votes, an erroneously eliminated candidate, lost Ward 5 credential books, and unsecured check‑in records.
• Fateh’s campaign denounced the move as disenfranchisement by establishment Democrats, while Mayor Jacob Frey’s camp called the convention’s conduct “brazen cheating.”
• The decision strips Fateh of party resources and voter file access, and the Minneapolis DFL may appeal to the state executive committee as tensions within the party escalate ahead of November.
