    Edit: There’s some legalese that the DNC is shook about, so fair enough to be worried about Republicans and election shenanigans.

    If his plans aren’t enough for your tastes, organize and do better. Inspire others around you.

    This would be a valid point, if the DNC wasn’t trying to force a primary confirmation vote early, in order to ‘lock in’ Biden. Despite Biden welcoming challengers to make a play to delegates at the convention.

    I.e. “actively prevented from doing so”

        Might be irrelevant given the latest on Biden dropping maybe, but this is still the official line:_

        “no voting will begin before August 1.” They add that the vote is set to happen before the in-person Democratic National Convention that starts Aug. 19

        They’ve now explained the nuance and reasoning, which does change things a fair bit

        In June, Ohio passed a bill to move its deadline from Aug. 7 to Sept. 1. But because that law technically does not take effect until Sept. 1, the DNC said they are keeping their timeline of a pre-convention virtual roll call in place due to concern of litigation. Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose suggested earlier this month that Sept. 1 deadline to certify a candidate would stand.
