Overview

• The Democratic National Committee will hold an electronic vote from June 9-11 to decide whether to redo February’s vice chair election.
• Kalyn Free, a losing candidate, alleges the election violated DNC Charter, Bylaws, and gender equity rules, disadvantaging women candidates.
• If a redo is approved, new elections for a male vice chair and a second vice chair of any gender will follow from June 12-17.
• David Hogg and Malcolm Kenyatta oppose redoing the election, arguing it undermines confidence in the party’s election processes.
• The controversy unfolds as Hogg’s $20 million primary challenge initiative and calls for officer neutrality expose deeper tensions within the party.
