Minneapolis now says yeah, Dan Engelhart definitely won the Park Board District 1 race after all. New percentages now seem to take into account that there were 5,478 undervotes, removing them before determining a lower 50%+1 threshold (maybe?) Engelhart 9,641 59.1% Miller 6,582 40.4% [contains quote post or other embedded content]

FUN FACT: In the Minneapolis Board of Estimate & Taxation race, "left my ballot blank" (41,020 undervotes, 38.5% of the vote) nestled firmly in second place between winners, finishing ahead of Steve Brandt (35,911 33.7%) but behind Eric Harris Bernstein (42,829 40.1%)

Minneapolis now says that in the Board of Estimate & Taxation race, actually one round was fine (unless you were NAMED Fine, hyuk hyuk) and we all imagined them saying they would need to go to ranked choice voting and a second round. EHB and Steve Brandt are elected to the BET. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

The hits keep on coming. Minneapolis declares Pearll Warren the next Ward 5 council member

MINNEAPOLIS MAYOR: Final vote after Round 2 Frey 73,723 50.03% Fateh 65,377 44.37% All others Eliminated after Round 1 And I received one #1 ranking (thanks, me!)
5.11 11:37 
You hate to see it (especially without Round 2 results) Page now updated to say Jacob Frey is the unofficial winner of the Minneapolis mayoral race vote.minneapolismn.gov/results-data...

There is no truth to the rumour that counting votes for me is what's causing the delay in announcing any Round 2 results in the Minneapolis election [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Mornin' Minneapolis will start ranking 'em out at 9. Mayor, Ward 5, Parks At-Large, District 1, 4, 5 and BET. Not sure in what order. Unfortunately, they're only posting results on their website and Twitter. Also unfortunately, I have a 9am meeting so I can't bring 'em over here in real time.

 Right on time for a later train, but I know my boss is working remotely this morning heh - Prospect Park LRT Station (Minneapolis, MN)

FUN FACT: I am apparently the only declared write-in candidate across ALL Minneapolis offices in 2025. I'm very disappointed in some of you right now.
5.11 03:31 
FUN FACT: Minneapolis says Dan Englehart technically hasn't won the Park Board District 1 election yet since no candidate got to 50%+1 (about 5,500 didn't vote at all). They have to go to R2 and see if and who the 88 undeclared write-ins ranked #2, even with no way Miller (-3,057) can overtake him.
5.11 01:36 
UPDATE: There are 39,205 ballots that didn't rank Frey or Fateh #1. Minneapolis says if Frey picks up 12,512 votes, he wins outright. If Fateh picks up 27,342 votes, he wins outright. After Round 1, Fateh (46,510 votes) trails Frey (61,340) by 14,830 votes. https://vote.minneapolismn.gov/results-data/election-results/2025/mayor/
5.11 01:31 
IMPORTANT: Minneapolis says I was the only person to file as a write-in and we'll see how many of the 113 write-ins were for me on Wednesday. (Over/under is 2.) https://vote.minneapolismn.gov/results-data/election-results/2025/mayor/
5.11 01:28 
Minneapolis says we DO need to go to a Round 2 to decide BET. For the life of me I don't see how EHB and Brandt don't end up the two winners but they didn't pass the threshold to NOT have RCV so we'll go through the motions some time Wednesday. https://vote.minneapolismn.gov/results-data/election-results/2025/bet/

Over in St Paul, they went ahead and ran Round 2 of ranked choice voting tonight so we already know Mayor Melvin Carter has been defeated by Kaohly Her. Carter received more #1 rankings but Her overtook Carter in Round 2. Could something similar happen in Minneapolis? We'll have to sleep on it.

Vote 960 cast at Ward 2, Precinct 5! For the first time in a long time I had to stand 6th in line before I could check in; not sure if I just picked a time everybody else was here or if we're actually seeing way more votes for a #MPLSVotes city election than usual. Hope everybody wrote in CRZ!

In Minneapolis, the mayor controls the MPD. It's been that way since, like, the nineteenth century. Not anybody on the council. The mayor. The mayor controls the MPD. How can anyone watch this video and think they should vote to give our city four more years of THIS mayor's "control" of MPD? [contains quote post or other embedded content]
