Check the population by age.
Check the public registrar of total votes cast.
Come up with a percentage of the population that voted.
Contemplate.

Minnesota's 5th Congressional District election, 2018
General election for U.S. House Minnesota District 5
Ilhan Omar (D) 78.0 267,703
Jennifer Zielinski (R) 21.7 74,440
Write-in votes 0.4 1,215
Total votes: 343,358
So, in an election where approx 571,871 voters could have voted, only 343,358 did. That's a 60% turnout.
in 2016, 361,882 voted, and it was actually a bit closer race:

So…
In a district that, according to the census, is ~65% white, a Muslim that hates America and Israel gets elected pulling 78% of votes cast?
Really?
