    The Minnesota DFL vacated its endorsement of State Sen. Omar Fateh for Minneapolis mayor after a review panel found glaring flaws in the voting process.

    A flurry of challenges were submitted to the state DFL in the wake of last month’s Minneapolis DFL Convention, pointing out issues with the electronic voting system and questioning whether a quorum was present for the final ballot that clinched Fateh’s endorsement over incumbent Jacob Frey.

    The Minneapolis DFL also admitted it erroneously eliminated DeWayne Davis after the first round of voting due to an undercount of 176 votes.

    I’m very suspicious the dem party be tampering with votes when they don’t like the results.

    Gonan plug Fateh’s Bluesky because he must be doing something right if both the Dems and GOP hate him.

    Democrats will use 100% of their resources to make sure that a mild social democrat who’d fold under internal pressure doesn’t win, which is genuinely funny for a party that’s supposed to be the left opposition

    Who cares? Democracy is all about the people’s choice to be heard. He just needs to pull a Mamdani and win anyway. Socialists have to pry the party from the hands of the corporate assholes who run it one election at a time.

        Kinda all of it? Considering “democracy” by definition is “a system of government where all eligible members of society vote in an election, either directly on legislation itself (direct democracy) or to appoint representatives to dictate legislation for the whole (representative democracy)”

        “Democracy” is intrinsically tied to having elections.
