Michele Bachmann, the former Minnesota lawmaker and now a dean at Regent University, says she is still asking questions after Rep. Ilhan Omar easily won her Democrat primary last week.
Omar, one of the so-called “Squad” members, easily defeated challenger Don Samuels, a former Minneapolis city council member. She defeated Samuels 56%-42% in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District.
In that race, Bachmann says, something odd happened on election night.
“There were no votes counted about an hour and 15 minutes after the polls closed, and then about an hour 20 minutes after the polls closed, there's maybe 5% of the votes that have been counted,” Bachmann recalls.
Then, all of a sudden, a whopping 95% of the votes had been counted and Omar was declared the winner, Bachmann recalls.
Bachmann wasn't the only person to notice. The sudden surge of election returns got noticed by Matt Vespa, the senior editor at Townhall.com, too. The sudden speed of election returns was “a bit suspect,” he wrote, linking to an X post as evidence of the sudden vote total.
Bachmann similarly predicts Democrats plan to steal the election in November but first, she says, they had to stage a behind-the-scenes coup to get rid of their struggling nominee, Joe Biden.
“It's very hard to rig an election when no one believes that that candidate could possibly win,” she says. “And so they had to put Kamala Harris in just so that they could make it plausible to think that she could win.”
