Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D) is accused of organizing a pay-for-vote scheme in her district whereby Somali-American residents are paid to cast their vote for her and her allies.
The allegations were made in a series of explosive videos released by Project Veritas.
In the videos, political operatives can be seen giving individuals money in exchange for promising to fill out absentee ballots in their favor.

This is totally illegal. Hope that the U.S. Attorney in Minnesota has this, and other of her many misdeeds, under serious review??? If not, why not??? We will win Minnesota because of her, and law enforcement. Saved Minneapolis & Iron O Range! https://t.co/yete31P680
