DNC sets June vote over redoing election on David Hogg's vice chair role

The Democratic National Committee took another step Thursday toward removing a pair of vice chairs — including David Hogg, who ignited controversy in the party with his pledge to challenge “asleep at the wheel” Democrats.

DNC members will now vote via electronic ballot from June 9 to June 11 on whether to hold a redo of the election for the two vice chair positions, after a DNC panel granted a procedural complaint about the original contest that was unrelated to the broader firestorm surrounding Hogg.

If a majority of DNC members approve it, both Hogg and Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta would lose their vice chair positions and kick off a new election for the roles. DNC members would vote for the new male vice chair from June 12 to June 14 and then vote for a second vice chair of any gender from June 15 to June 17.


During the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting on Thursday, which set the election timeline, Hogg objected to re-doing the election, telling members it “sends a horrible message to the public about our inability to run elections.”

I would guess that the amount of people in the country aware of DNC internal elections is probably around 1 in 1000. Especially with so much else in the news.

Questions: why is one of the seats restricted only to males?
