The DNC restores New Hampshire's delegates after a second nominating event unknown to many Democrats
The Democratic National Committee’s rulemaking arm has voted to seat New Hampshire’s full slate of delegates at the party’s convention this summer, ending a bitter feud with the state over its presidential primary no longer being the first in the nation
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Democratic National Committee 's rulemaking arm voted Tuesday to seat New Hampshire's full slate of delegates at the party's convention this summer, ending a bitter feud with the state over its presidential primary no longer being the first in the nation.
The move follows an event this past weekend, when the New Hampshire Democratic Party invited state committee members to witness “the final steps of the delegate selection process” a few hours before its scheduled State Committee Meeting.
In an updated delegate selection plan submitted by the state party and shared by the DNC, the state party calls what occurred on Saturday a “party-run delegate selection primary,” though several committee members told The Associated Press that they were unaware that it was considered a primary or a nominating event — and it was unclear if the invitation to attend it was distributed to anyone other than committee members.
The state party has not provided results of the event, though Chairman Ray Buckley said in a statement that the “delegate selection process is complete.”
