I am so sad for our unhoused residents that Omar Fateh didn’t get elected. He would have made a huge difference.

Looking at Park Board At-Large, we elect 3, but it appears that only the top RCV vote counted. This is making my math bones tingle in frustration. How does that make sense?
With RCV, you get 3 choices. Shouldn't they all be counted?
In a non-RCV format, would you only vote for 1 of the 3 spots?

What's the likelihood we have Minneapolis mayoral results tonight? I remember RCV taking a couple days to finalize in the past, but I'm more curious as to whether the counting process has improved

How is this possible? If the original complaints of the mayoral endorsement were valid, the whole convention should be. Make it make sense.
i’ve heard that park board stands though
The state party’s rules committee heard scores of challenges to historic endorsement that drew national attention.

The DFL should be ashamed. Their goal, meant to disenfranchise thousands of Minneapolis residents, will have a ripple effect up and down the ballot. Wanting an affordable and accountable city should not ever be controversial. 8/

Thank you to the family of Amir Locke, police accountability advocates, and Minneapolis DFL delegates for making sure the Mayor and Chief backtracked on their decisions that did not uphold trust, community building or police reform.
It’s time for a new Mayor.
