Minneapolis Ward 2 candidate Yusra Arab requests a recount after close loss

Minneapolis Ward 2 candidate Yusra Arab announced Friday that she requested a recount after losing to Robin Wonsley Worlobah by 19 votes.

City officials announced Wonsley Worlobah as the winner after two rounds of tabulation on Nov. 3. Incumbent Cam Gordon was eliminated in the second round.

Arab said on Twitter that she is requesting a recount because of how close the final vote totals were.

There are no Republicans. Arab is a Democrat and the presumed winner is a Democratic Socialist. The incumbent was a Green.

19 votes is a reasonable amount to ask for a recount.
