I think my neighbor/friend saw the same exact shooting star.

Thank you!

The Secretary of State site still isn't showing 2nd and 3rd choice data.

I hope you both have a wonderful day

Official statement from Omar Fateh says, in part, "They may have won this race, but we have changed the narrative about what kind of city Minneapolis can be."

Frey won the 2025 mayor's race by 8,346 votes with the highest voter turn-out for a municipal race in Minneapolis.

Frey had 73,723 votes in the final round (50.03%). Fateh had 65,377 (44.37%).

my eyes are bloodshot, not from all the weed, but from being up past 9 p.m.

This makes my (not-fact checked) BET section possibly incorrect (where I said winners aren't known). Even though EHB and Brandt both got past the threshold, the City is saying that race need RCV tabulations.

An important addendum: When one candidate is declared the winner, the winning threshold is 50% plus one vote. If two candidates are declared winners, the winning threshold is 33 ⅓ % plus one vote. If three candidates can win, the winning threshold is 25% plus one vote.

In my analysis, there is so much wiggle room in second and third ballots that there is no reason to assume anything right now. It's way too close with all those ballots still out there

To clarify: No mayoral candidate won the majority of the vote. Frey, who received the most votes, rang in at 41.76%.

DeWayne Davis just said "we are going to advance to the second round here" on the mic at his campaign party.

"In instant-runoff voting, if a candidate wins a majority of first-preference votes, he or she is declared the winner. If no candidate wins a majority of first-preference votes, the candidate with the fewest first-preference votes is eliminated."

Results just came in. It shows Frey with 60,735 votes, Fateh with 46,131 votes, Davis with 19,971 votes, and Hampton with 15,119 votes.
