A Democratic National Committee subcommittee on Monday recommended that the organization invalidate one of its February vice-chair votes over claims that it unfairly disadvantaged female candidates.

The move, which won’t be official unless the entire DNC votes to approve it, could open up new races for the positions held by David Hogg, a Florida activist, and Malcolm Kenyatta, a Pennsylvania state legislator.

The challenge by Oklahoma Democratic Committeewoman Kalyn Free, who unsuccessfully ran against Hogg and Kenyatta in the February race for vice chair, is not related to the ongoing tension between Hogg and the national party over his push to support primary challenges against incumbent Democrats.

Instead, it was based off Free’s claim that the handling of the vice-chair vote gave the two men an unfair advantage amid the national party’s requirements that its executive committee achieve gender balance.

    They’ll never have an honest primary, anything but FPTP, and support term limits. They get in the way of being rich while feigning support of minorities.

        STAR voting is the best, IMO. I use it online for whenever I have to do something that requires a lot of community involvement, as FPTP can be negative, an sometimes a simple rating system works best for “who gets to be on this mod team more”.
