Showing Original Post only (View all)DNC to vote on whether to redo election of David Hogg as vice chair [View all]

The Democratic National Committee will vote in June on whether to hold a redo of the election of David Hogg and Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta as vice chairs, per a Thursday evening DNC meeting.
Why it matters: Kalyn Free, a losing candidate in February's vice chair race, says the two were elected under a flawed tabulation process, but Hogg alleges the move is linked to his efforts to reform the party that include plans to spend $20 million to primary older Democratic Congress members.
Driving the news: The DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee at a virtual meeting determined that a vote should be held electronically from June 9-11.
Hogg said at the meeting the move "sends a horrible message to the public about our inability to run elections." It "truly just sends a horrible message that we really do not want out there" if Democrats were to redo this election, he said. "That's why I believe that it should not go forward, and if it does, it does. It should not be done electronically or over mail." Kenyatta said at the meeting that he "fundamentally" believes the election was fair.

I suspect these dialogues will continue until the upstarts are about 10 years older

I like neither side of this. Hogg using his position to primary an incumbent is bad. DNC ousting them is bad.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the party doesn't generally give candidates money in the primary. Candidates

Sounds like the DNC doesn't want David Hogg and that free has sour grapes over the election

I do not believe that they want anyone younger than the Clintons or anyone not in their tax bracket

Oh, in the millions? for the last 20 years or so? Heavily invested in financial and military stocks?
