"State DFL Party Chair Richard Carlbom said in a statement Thursday that the party’s committee overseeing bylaws and rules found “substantial failures” in the Minneapolis party convention’s voting process and vacated the endorsement of Fateh."

What were they supposed to do if the system was flawed.

I take it that means the DFL isn't endorsing anyone, which is how it should be in this case, because of the irregularities.

The candidates will debate each other, and let ALL the people choose who they want in November.

As for "widening the schism within party", it won't change anything. The schism was created in 2016 and 2024 when the Supreme Court and our Democracy was at stake. and if those issues couldn't unify the party, nothing will.
