The DNC changed the rules for less transparency. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola, hosts of The Young Turks, discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Chairman Tom Perez and Secretary Jason Rae:
We petition that the Democratic National Committee immediately release, in accordance with the DNC’s own bylaws*, the list of the DNC members and whom they voted for in the race for all leadership positions of the DNC on all rounds of balloting. These DNC members represent their states and are accountable to their state parties, and all of the individual members and voters of the Democratic party.
Transparency is a basic principle of a democratic political party. For a party whose very name is “Democrats”, this lack of transparency is a glaring hypocrisy which needs to be corrected immediately. This is especially important at a pivotal time when the Democratic Party is under scrutiny for lack of oversight of their processes. The entire leadership election was to address needs to reform how the party functions.
While the recorded public ballots were not released between ballot votes, as designed, it is imperative that the DNC release these records immediately to the public. Democratic voters and constituents deserve to know how their elected DNC members voted in the leadership races that occurred on February 25, 2017.
Sincerely,
Constituents of the Democratic Party
*in that ballots are prohibited from being secret and must be recorded and released during the vote”*
