| We're having a DNC challenge notarized signing at Arbor Brewing, for Uncommitted folks, today (Sunday) 3-4:30.
The Clintonite co-chair Joel Ferguson has filed something (or at least a press release) with the DNC to have themselves and their superdelegates seated. This is the counter-petition some folks at Michigan Liberal (and the local Democracy for America) worked on this past week.
When the state has no binding primary, it turns out that there are specific Rules that require the count of actual convention attendees to be used to allocate delegates. Since there were twice as many Uncommitted in many places across the state, we should have twice the delegates!
Worse, the number of delegates and alternates given Clinton greatly exceeds the 55% on the non-binding primary.
Of course, we've already chosen some delegates, so the resolution is probably a redistribution of at-large and PLEO delegates.
Also, it challenges the superdelegates. And, asks for sanctions against the Clinton campaign for "participating" on the ballot, and "campaigning" in the state. |
