The Minnesota Supreme Court sided with Rep. Phyllis Kahns campaign Tuesday in a dispute that led to the reassignment of a Minneapolis election judge last week to keep her away from voters until a city investigation is completed.
The case is the latest in a bitter battle between the longtime legislator and her opponent Mohamud Noor, whose mobilization of Somali-American delegates led to Kahns failure to receive the DFL endorsement. A primary election will take place next month.
The campaign filed a petition with the court on July 7 claiming that election judge Fadumo Yusuf asked voters in Somali at City Hall where hundreds of Somali people have been casting absentee ballots whether they were supporting our Somali brother or the old Jewish lady, and seeking her removal. State law requires election judges to be neutral.
