DFL Pulls Endorsement from Radical Omar Fateh After Voting Scandal Exposes Leftist Chaos

Minneapolis, MN – August 27, 2025, 12:39 PM PDT – In a rare moment of accountability, the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party has yanked its endorsement from far-left state Sen. Omar Fateh in the Minneapolis mayoral race, exposing the incompetence and potential corruption festering within the progressive machine. The decision, announced August 21, comes after a botched electronic voting system during the July 19 convention handed Fateh a dubious victory-only for the truth to unravel under scrutiny from incumbent Mayor Jacob Frey's campaign.

The DFL's Constitution, Bylaws, and Rules Committee (CBRC) uncovered a mess: over 400 delegates uncounted, an entire ward's data missing, and a 176-vote undercount that wrongly axed candidate DeWayne Davis. This led to the revocation of Fateh's endorsement, a move cheered by conservatives as a rare check on the left's electoral overreach. "This wasn't an error. This was brazen cheating," a Frey campaign staffer declared, as reported by @GrageDustin on X on August 21. The Minneapolis DFL now faces a two-year probation and a mandated "best practices plan," per the *Minnesota Star Tribune* (August 22, 2025)-a slap on the wrist for a party drowning in its own dysfunction.

Fateh, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist and Minnesota's first Somali-American senator, is crying foul, calling the decision an "establishment" plot. In a whiny X post on August 21, he claimed, "28 mostly out-state, establishment Democrats met privately to overturn the will of Minneapolis residents," and vowed to fight on. His allies, including radical Rep. Ilhan Omar, labeled it a "threat to unity"-code for their frustration at losing control. But let's be real: this is the natural fallout of a party obsessed with identity politics and untested voting tech.

The electronic voting fiasco only proves what conservatives have long warned: these systems are a ticking time bomb. J. Alex Halderman's 2021 exposé of "severe security flaws" in Georgia's touchscreen machines (AP News) and the 2018 National Academies of Sciences report demanding paper trails back this up. Yet the DFL doubled down, and now their mess threatens to hand Frey-still the better choice despite his flaws-a lifeline. Frey, who outraised Fateh significantly, had narrowly lost the convention, but this scandal shows the left can't even rig a vote without tripping over itself.

The DFL's implosion is a gift to America First patriots. Progressives, clinging to Fateh's promises of free college and housing handouts, are furious, with unions like SEIU and Unite HERE plotting a press conference to prop him up. But the *Minnesota Reformer* (August 22, 2025) hints their base might stay home, potentially flipping the 5th Congressional District red in 2026-a prospect that terrifies the socialist squad. Frey's vetoes of woke policies like the George Floyd Square pedestrian mall and a Gaza ceasefire resolution show he's not fully lost to the madness, though his "Strong Mayor" power grab raises eyebrows.

As November 4 nears, Minneapolis faces a choice: stick with Frey's pragmatic governance or risk Fateh's radical experiment. The DFL's self-inflicted wound might just save the city from itself. Stay tuned to @GrageDustin or DFL meltdown updates-because this circus isn't over yet.
