The left-wing socialist Muslim Omar Fateh has not won the Minneapolis Mayor's race yet, as the City of Minneapolis will begin working its way through rounds of vote reallocation. Whatever the hell that means.
If the Somalian doesn't win, the Minneapolis Mayor will be the guy who cried at George Floyd's funeral.
Previous vote reallocation rounds offer clues as to how long it will take before a winner is declared.
"The City of Minneapolis will begin working its way through rounds of vote reallocation at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday. That means that votes for the candidates who were knocked out of the first round are moved to the voter’s second choice candidate.
The process can take hours or days depending on how many rounds it takes for one candidate to cross the 50 percent threshold.
In 2021, when Frey faced off against Kate Knuth and Sheila Nehzad, the reallocation process took just a few hours for a single round and Frey was named the winner before noon on Wednesday.
In 2017, when the election went through five rounds, Frey wasn’t declared the winner until midday Thursday.
Frey ended Tuesday night in a strong position, with 42 percent of the vote and a 10-point lead over his next opponent, Sen. Omar Fateh. Dwayne Davis was at 14 percent and Jazz Hampton at 10 percent. The remaining votes were split among at least a dozen other candidates who are expected to be eliminated from subsequent rounds.
