This viral Minnesota GOTV ad has ties to fraud in Maine. The guy in the white jacket is Abdifatah Afrah, the cousin of Gateway Community Services CEO Abdullahi Ali. Afra was the chief of the Lewiston office before Ali fled for Kenya amid credible allegations of fraud (first reported by @TheMaineWire). Afrah ran his own businesses with the sketchiest websites imaginable, listing his offices as Gateway’s offices. The Democrat governor suspended payments to Gateway last year and they lost their license. No indictments.

“leaving many unable to vote”
Immigration officials approved 173,000 people for citizenship through the first eight months of 2026, down 72 percent from last year. A sharp tapering off in naturalizations has left hundreds of thousands of immigrants waiting as midterms approach. wapo.st/4z8e6E3

I’m sure California is the only state that was doing this.
California has been using ineligible voters to rig elections and the DOJ is about to prove it.

The "New Mainers" and their partner NGOs have responded to the national outrage over electioneering by Somali translators. Not by refuting the allegations... But by immediately playing the victim and accusing anyone who notices of harassment. Lewiston needs state or federal intervention to ensure the integrity of the election:

The really offensive thing is that the burka is so sheer, you could easily hide the Rode mic rather than having it dangle like that.
Mogadishu? Nope. This is a real "get out the vote" ad in Minnesota.

If independents break 51-38 for Collins… That’s the ballgame. If they broke 51-48 for Collins, she’d likely win. Jackson needs roughly half of independents (maybe a little less if you factor in the Somali votes and the 8-1 UOCAVA airdrop that Shenna Bellows will deliver).

Here’s an ad for Rep. Ilhan Omar, aka Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, from Jubbaland Finance Minister and notable Maine businessman Hussein Hirsi Ahmed: “Come out vote now for Ilhan and her party, vote absentee dont even wait for the Election Day…”
Hussein Hirsi Ahmed, the finance minister of Jubbaland, Somalia, from 2021-2023, is rallying Somalis to vote in Lewiston, Maine. Just a few days ago he was meeting with Democratic gubernatorial candidate Hannah Pingree (daughter to MECD1 Rep. Chellie Pingree). He has multiple money transmitter licenses on Lisbon St and just happens to rent to a bunch of Medicaid home health care agencies. Here’s a pic of him Rep. Ilhan Omar while he was a Somali MP, and a few more of him ministering…

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that after the Maine Democrat gov candidate had. Somali summit with the Ogaden clan, leftwing operatives started dropping bus loads of illiterate Somalis at the Lewiston City Hall with “translators” to help them fill out the ballots. What did Hannah Pingree promise the Ogaden?

Brazen violations of Maine election law in Lewiston — and no one with hold them accountable. A lawless, broken system.
The Soros-funded Maine People's Alliance and State Rep. Scott Harriman appear to have violated Maine election law today by holding a political demonstration INSIDE the early voting chamber:

Here’s Somali finance minister and MP Hussein Hirsi Ahmed, fresh off a meeting with Democrat Hannah Pingree, imploring Somalis to go vote. Days later, busses start dropping illiterate Somalis and “translators” off at the polls in Lewiston. In 2024, the ME-CD2 margin was less than 2,500 votes. This is a potential D => R flip that could determine who controls the U.S. House, and the results could be settled by buses of illiterate Somalis.
