Live: DFL is revoking Omar Fateh's endorsement for Minneapolis mayor [View all]

The Minnesota DFL is revoking the local party’s endorsement of state Sen. Omar Fateh in the Minneapolis mayor’s race, citing “substantial failures in the convention’s voting process.”

Fateh, a democratic socialist challenging Mayor Jacob Frey, won the endorsement at the end of a raucous July convention that prompted dozens of challenges amid delays and miscounted votes.

The state party’s Constitution, Bylaws and Rules Committee reached a decision on Tuesday, according to sources, and had planned to release its findings publicly on Friday. Instead, the party released a draft of its findings Thursday afternoon following reporting by the Minnesota Star Tribune.
