“Narrowly defeated” = fraud.
And let me guess: the Somalian won again.

3 people running against her. That probably means they’ll split the vote and she will win.
She’s a product of her environment.
She’s not going anywhere.
Here are the 2022 results to compare
That’s how the rats protect their incumbents. It’s also how they confuse Republicans with three or four names on the Republican side. I’m amazed they didn’t do that this time
I was hoping my squish rep would get primaried but his opponent was worse. I believe I shall leave Minnesota within 1 year.
*3 people running against her. That probably means they’ll split the vote and she will win.*
The GOP could take her out today with crossovers. Not smart enough.
Its an open primary so Republicans can vote but yeah, that whole area is Somali that’s why Obama put them all there, so she will probably win
PLEASE PLEASE MN get this anti-American insane beetch OUT of our US Congress, PLEASE!???
(she’s dangerous in there, has too much access to too many defense and security-related data)
The 5th district goes up to Fridley/Brooklyn Center, over to Crystal, and down to Richfield.
It’s a LOT more than just Stadium Village on the West Bank of the University.
Is there a runoff if nobody gets 50%+?
The 5th District is still majority white.
The Somalis are concentrated in one or two wards near the downtown and the university of Minnesota campus. Those areas will, as they do for other Somali candidates, vote heavily for her.
It’s the white liberals whom I’m most concerned about. They’re the ones who can put her over the top.
Don Samuels, her primary opponent, has been working that demographic heavily. He’s black too and there’s hope his old ward (he was on the city council) will turnout heavily for him.
“Is there a runoff if nobody gets 50%+?”
Nope. The candidate with the highest number of votes is the winner of the primary.
Found this
In Minnesota, the winner of a primary election is the candidate who receives the greatest number of votes cast for that office, even if he or she does not win an outright majority.
