The Tribulations of Phyllis Kahn Continue — With Somali Voters And A Muslim Elections Judge

The glorious long-run future of the Democrats’ Obama Coalition is being test-run in an obscure Democratic legislative primary in Minneapolis. From Minneapolis City Pages:

Phyllis Kahn alleges election judge called her “old Jewish lady,” opponent “Muslim brother” By Aaron Rupar Wed., Jul. 2 2014 at 8:00 AM 14 Comments

Noor (right) is trying to take Kahn’s seat and become the first Somali elected to the legislature.
The campaign of Rep. Phyllis Kahn (D-Minneapolis) has filed two complaints regarding improprieties that have allegedly taken place during her heated primary battle with Mohamud Noor.
One alleges that a Minneapolis elections judge named Fadmo called Kahn “an old Jewish Lady” while interpreting the primary ballot for a Somali man who was recently at City Hall to cast his absentee ballot. On the other hand, Fadmo characterized Noor as “our Muslim brother,” the complaint says.

If the Somali voter passed the citizenship test, why isn’t he literate in English? Why does he need fellow Somali Fadmo to tell him which squiggle on the ballot represents “our Muslim brother” and which squiggle “an old Jewish lady?”

The white man must stop trying to suppress the right to vote of illiterate Somali citizens; in the spirit of cultural sensitivity, candidates names should appear on the ballots not only in Arabic, but, for the illiterate, should come marked with symbols instantly recognizable to a Somali as Good (e.g., Mohamud Noor’s name could be accompanied by a picture of an AK-47) or Bad (e.g., a sow).
