Reply #30: The DNC cannot "make up rules" that designate members' rights unequally. [View All]

If the party's charter assigns delegate selection to its members then that assignment must be fair and equal.

If the party allows one or two or three states to set up early elections then it must allow any other state that wants to do the same.

Section 4.
The National Convention shall be composed of delegates equally divided between men and
women. The delegates shall be chosen through processes which:

(a) assure all Democratic voters full, timely and equal opportunity to participate and include
affirmative action programs toward that end,

(b) assure that delegations fairly reflect the division of preferences expressed by those who
participate in the Presidential nominating process.

Is there something about "all Democratic voters full, timely, and equal opportunity to participate" that isn't clear to anyone?
