Nekessa Opoti wrote a great story on the alleged influencing of Somali voters by translators at the Brian Coyle Center on election day.
This has been republished and linked in lots of places already, but I’m going to take a turn anyway.
There’s more to it than just voting laws in Minnesota. This article provides some important context for political and cultural considerations Somali voters were making when choosing who to vote for in the first place and how that relates to the people making claims of wrongdoing. It also makes the should-be-obvious point that just because a person may be an immigrant it doesn’t mean they’re an idiot.
