    A ballot-harvesting racket in Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Minneapolis district — where paid workers illegally gather absentee ballots from elderly Somali immigrants — appears to have been busted by undercover news organization Project Veritas.

    One alleged ballot harvester, Liban Mohamed, the brother of Minneapolis City Council member Jamal Osman, is shown in a bombshell Snapchat video rifling through piles of ballots strewn across his dashboard.

    “Just today we got 300 for Jamal Osman,” says Mohamed, aka KingLiban1, in the video. “I have 300 ballots in my car right now . . .

    “Numbers don’t lie. You can see my car is full. All these here are absentee ballots. . . . Look, all these are for Jamal Osman,” he says, displaying the white envelopes.

    “Money is the king in this world . . . and a campaign is driven by money.”

    I'm no fan of Ilhan Omar but to implicate her in this scandal is stretching it a bit. The election in question was for Minneapolis City Council. Yes, the city council ward is in Omar's congressional district, but so are 12 other wards. The ward in question, Ward 6 is a heavily Somali neighborhood and the incumbent, Jamal Osman, would have likely won no matter what. Finally, for about 9 weeks, it was legal for one person to collect unlimited absentee ballots, and wasn't until early September that the Minnesota Supreme Court set the limit at 3 ballots. Note: The city ward election was August 11th.

    Go after Jamal Osman for election fraud, absolutely, but so far the evidence shows Ilhan Omar was not involved.

    If true(and if true was anything illegal about it?) he must have really, really, really wanted his brother to win that city council seat.

    Omar is also being investigated for spending 200 large out of campaign money for her wardrobe. I hope she got a lot more head scarfs, she needs them.

    You are relying on this James O'Keefe?

    "Four conservative activists accused of trying to tamper with the phones in Sen. Mary Landrieu's office pleaded guilty Wednesday to misdemeanor charges of entering federal property under false pretenses.

    O'Keefe, 25, famous for wearing a pimp costume in a video that embarrassed the ACORN, was sentenced to three years probation, 100 hours of community service and a $1,500 fine.

    ...

    O'Keefe told the judge he regretted his actions and apologized for raising security concerns at the federal building. After the hearing, he said he would continue his undercover work."

    Yes. He has been able to shine a light where others would never go, over & over. You can dismiss whatever you like, just like I dismiss most of which comes from the msm.

    You obviously have not seen the release that directly implicated her campaign manager as the source for the money.

    If you think he is "far right-wing," then this conversation is already over. Thanks for letting me know.
