Dem Senator Gets Caught Up In Alleged Ballot Scheme Fraud

According to the Bible, everything that happens in the dark will ultimately come to light, and it appears that this is the situation in Minneapolis, Minnesota, when the Minnesota Senate Ethics Committee unanimously voted to launch an investigation into a state Democrat senator.

The decision occurred after an ethics hearing in which Sen. Omar Fatah, a Democrat who represents parts of south Minneapolis, and his attorney, Kristin Hendrick, refuted allegations made in a complaint filed against him by seven Senate Republicans.

In the original complaint filed against him, Omar was accused of neglecting to clearly recognize his role in the wrongful distribution of 2020 primary election absentee votes and keeping his Senate employee who allegedly handled the fraudulent election activity.

This was Omar’s second appearance before the panel, which had questioned him the week before. On Wednesday, Hendrick reiterated many times that Omar is startled to learn of the alleged inappropriate behavior during the campaign.

Muse Mohamed, Omar’s brother-in-law and former campaign volunteer, was recently convicted on perjury charges. Muse was found guilty on two counts of lying to a grand jury concerning his handling of absentee votes during the August 2020 election by a federal jury on May 10. The investigation into how certain absentee ballots were handled in the August 2020 election took a year and involved more than 80 witnesses, according to an FBI agent testifying at Muse’s trial.

In the inquiry, Muse is the only individual who has been charged; no one else has been charged with voter fraud. Muse told the grand jury that he collected votes from three people and returned them to the elections office. The grand jury heard evidence that refuted such claims. At Muse’s trial, two of those voters testified that they had never seen him and had never filled out the absentee ballots he mentioned to the grand jury.
