Democratic National Rules Committee Votes to Deny Super-Delegates Ability to Vote for President on First Ballot if No One Otherwise Has a Majority

Posted on June 28, 2018 by Richard Winger

On June 27, the Democratic National Committee’s Rules Committee voted to change the rules for presidential conventions. Superdelegates would no longer vote for president on the first ballot, if it appeared that there would be a second ballot. See this story. Superdelegates are delegates who were not chosen through the normal primary/caucus process, but who hold the position by virtue of who they are (generally public officials).

I’m not sure why the party of the people would have elitist super delegates to begin with. Sounds like something the monarchist Republicans would do!

DIRECT vote of party members/voters

What New Age monarch Prez pays any attention to a party’s Platform ???
