Omar won the Democratic nomination with 65,237 v**es, which was 24,081 v**es ahead of her closest competitor. (In such a strongly Democratic district, the Republican nominee ended up losing to Omar, 78 percent to 22 percent.)
According to the refugee resettlement data, we found that the major jurisdictions of the 5th district -- mainly Minneapolis, but a few others as well -- received roughly half of the Somali refugees who were resettled in the state under both Bush and Obama.
If we use the high end of the Census Bureau’s statewide estimate for Somali Americans in Minnesota -- 55,200 -- then this means the 5th district was probably home to about 27,600 Somali Americans.
So, Omar won more than 65,000 primary v**es in a district that likely had about 27,600 Somali-Americans. This means she had to have won tens of thousands of v**es from non-Somalis.
And even this probably overstates the impact of Somali-American v**ers.
Not all of the 27,600 Somalis in the district are able to v**e, since Minnesota’s Somali population skews young.
In addition, even those who were eligible to v**e may not have turned out at the polls. The district as a whole saw only 18.8 percent of the population turn out to v**e in the primary. If the district’s Somali population turned out at that rate, no more than about 5,000 Somali v**ers would have cast a primary b****t.
And 5,000 v**es would have been less than one-tenth of Omar’s primary v**e total, and only about one-fifth of her margin of victory.
