MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — With one week until the primary, Minnesota’s DFL Party has filed a federal elections complaint against Congresswoman Ilhan Omar‘s Democratic challenger.

The complaint alleges Antone Melton-Meaux‘s campaign has concealed aspects of the millions he has received by not fully disclosing the donors.

DFL Chairman Ken Martin says it also appears the campaign is illegally paying vendors off the books.

Melton-Meaux’s campaign has raised $3.2 million in the last three months, which is six times more money than Omar raised in the same period.

1. Interesting, Ma'am

One suspects of course a good deal pf the money comes from right wing donors with no discernible ties to the Democratic Party, even its centerist elements. Else why conceal it?

Trying to grift a little by off-books payment is a temptation many manage to resist, and engaging in it strongly suggests unsuitability for office.
