“THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY’S Unity Reform Commission on Saturday voted nearly unanimously on a series of proposals aimed at reforming the presidential nominating process, including one that would eliminate 60 percent of superdelegates and require the remainder to follow the wishes of their respective state.
The commission, made up of 21 members selected by Hillary Clinton, Sen. Bernie Sanders, and Democratic National Committee Chair Tom Perez, held its final meetings on Friday and Saturday in a conference room at the Marriott Wardman Park hotel in Washington, D.C. The commission also debated reforms to voting registration, caucuses, and general transparency within the party.
Cutting the number of superdelegates by about 400 and having the remaining ones vote according to the results in their state, the commission decided, would be a step toward healing wounds from the 2016 primary.
The commission was born at the 2016 Democratic National Convention in response to voter angst with the election process, specifically the DNC’s bias against Sanders. Outrage was reignited last month by Donna Brazile’s memoir “Hacks,” which portrayed the primary as rigged. Brazile was named acting DNC chair during the convention, serving through the general election.”
