AAQ
If I go, I’ll post
What is interesting is that the D Parties of NC, SC and TN have stated their delegates will vote Harris.
However, state laws and rules don’t apply at the National Convention of a political party. It is decided law that only Party Rules apply. The rues of the Democrat Party state that the delegates at the convention decide the nominee, they are not bound by the state party or primary results (after first ballot or if the candidate is no longer running).
I have sat on the Rules Committee in the past, this will be an interesting year
Whitmer says she will not run, but in the past non-candidates have been drafted.
The CT State Dem Committee seems to be united behind Harris, but cannot direct delegates how to vote. Biden won all the delegates decided by primary and they are now free. The general population does not realize that in addition to primary chosen delegates, each state has a number of super delegates, Senators, Congressmen, etc.
