Omar defeats challenger Melton-Meaux in 5th District
MPR News ^ | August 11, 2020 | David H. Montgomery

Posted on 08/11/2020 7:58:07 PM PDT by Coronal

Rep. Ilhan Oman beat back a well-funded primary challenge from Antone Melton-Meaux in Tuesday’s DFL primary.

Omar, seeking her second term in the Minneapolis-centered 5th District, jumped out to a big 57 percent to 39 percent lead in early results, with nearly 150,000 votes counted. Though potentially tens of thousands of absentee votes could still be counted over the next two days, Melton-Meaux conceded shortly after 9 p.m. Tuesday.

“It’s my conclusion at this stage that Congresswoman Omar will be reelected,” Melton-Meaux said on MPR News. “I congratulate Congresswoman Omar on her victory.”

Omar declined to appear on MPR News Tuesday night, but in a statement said that “our movement didn’t just win. We earned a mandate for change.”

Maybe even millions of uncounted ballots. Sure there's only 700,000 residents per House district, but every vote must be counted as the ballot boxes are parachuted in from who-knows-where.

These people deserve everything they get by returning this scammer back to power, including slowly turning their district to a mini Somalia.

If it makes you feel better there are a pile of centerist dems and DNC hacks who are crying into their beer and counting millions of wasted money tonight.

Was the turnout lower than 2 years ago? Have no sympathy for anyone in those two districts, MINN-04/05. Enjoy the fruits of your political choice.

You hurt and want reparations by stealing from business. Until they all close and leave. Take it like a man, with a pipe.

The riots have been over for more than a month.

Yes. It encompasses a large, prosperous suburb that's lily white.

It's a sapphire blue district and 80,000 of the 700,000 people in the district are college students from the U of M so it's going to lean further left than average.
