Virtual Vote: DNC’s Rules Committee Making Changes


So, the DNC’s Rules Committee is trying to pull off the ultimate virtual party.

You see, they just passed a new rule.

And this new rule is to prevent any embarrassing displays during the nomination process.

Their solution?

Make the voting be done virtually.

With Kamala now trying to dance her way into the White House, this should prove to be quite the interesting Democratic National Convention.

I’m sure this isn’t the last move the Democrats will employ to move their candidate forward.

The Gateway Pundit reports:

The DNC’s Rules Committee on Friday made the case for proceeding with Joe Biden’s virtual nomination while also outlining next steps in the process and how virtual roll call voting would work despite rumors of Biden dropping out, ABC News reported.

In a letter distributed to other members of the rules committee on Wednesday morning and signed by Leah Daughtry and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, co-chairs of the Democratic National Convention Rules Committee, the committee declared its intent to “propose a framework for the best path forward” in their upcoming Friday meeting.

Of course, this sudden new rule is being implemented to prevent any embarrassing displays by states or delegates during the nomination process.

Now the process will be held virtually – how democratic!

However, the letter also clarified that the adoption of any rules would be deferred until its next meeting, scheduled for July 26.

The Democratic National Convention is scheduled from August 19 to 22 in Chicago.

The current proposal indicates that the virtual roll call voting will commence in the first week of August. According to party officials, the virtual voting process is slated to begin no earlier than August 1 and conclude by August 7.

However, the official start date remains pending until the DNC approves the proposed rules package. The presidential and vice-presidential acceptance speeches will still occur in person.

According to the letter obtained by Politico:

We write to share our serious concerns about the DNC’s plan to hold a “virtual roll call” to select our Democratic Presidential Nominee as early as July 21.

There is no legal justification for this extraordinary and unprecedented action which would effectively accelerate the nomination process by nearly a month. The “virtual roll call” was initially proposed as necessary for meeting Ohio’s unique ballot access requirements, but that is no longer a valid justification. Ohio enacted legislation on May 31 allowing the Democratic Party to nominate its candidate at the DNC in person.’ At this point, there is no serious threat to the Democratic ticket nominated in regular order at next month’s DNC convention appearing on the ballot in Ohio or any other state.

Simply put, there is no longer any legal reason for moving forward with the extraordinary step of an early nomination by way of a “virtual roll call,” as even many DNC members have admitted.?

As for the DNC itself, there’s a leaked list of talking points…
