The Democrats still don’t understand why they lost.
The Democrat Party voted for a new DNC Chairman on Saturday after
Outgoing DNC Chair Jaime Harrison laid out the ground rules for leadership positions and he even confused himself.
“Because of our gender balance provisions on this next ballot, you will be able to vote for two candidates of any gender on the next ballot,” Jaime Harrison said. “Okay, so on this next ballot, you will be able to vote for two candidates of any gender on the next ballot.”
“The rules specify that when we have a gender non-binary candidate or officer, the non-binary individual is counted as neither male nor female and the remaining six offices must be gender balanced. With the results of the previous four elections, our elected officers are currently two male and two female,” Jaime Harrison said.
He continued, “In order to be gender balanced, we must elect one male, one female and one person of any gender. So again, this is what we have to do for this vice chair race. To ensure our process accounts for male, female and non-binary candidates, we conferred with our RBC Co-Chair, our LBGT Caucus Co-Chair and others to ensure that the process is inclusive and meets the gender balance requirements in our rules.”
“After a candidate is elected on the first ballot, we’ll have one officer of the three so then we will know which position is filled of the one male, one female, and one Vice Chair of any gender. Our second ballot will also be for any candidate of any gender,” Jaime Harrison said.
