Democrats are planning to nominate Harris and her yet-to-be-named running mate by roll call ahead of their national convention in order to avoid any legal challenges. The party of ‘our democracy’ strikes again.
Democrats are worried Republicans will try to block Harris from certain state ballots. You know, like Democrats tried to do with Trump.
FOX News reports:
Democrats to confirm nominees by virtual roll call weeks before DNC in Chicago to avoid legal challengesThe Democratic National Committee announced Wednesday it will hold a virtual roll call vote on the party’s presidential and vice presidential nominees weeks ahead of its convention in Chicago next month to avoid potential legal challenges.It was suggested Republicans could challenge the inclusion of the Democratic nominee on a number of state ballots due to their respective election laws should Democrats delay voting on a nominee until the convention after President Biden dropped out of the race.But the likelihood of such challenges appears to be fading.Candidates will now have until July 27 to declare their candidacies with the convention and until July 30 to show they’ve met the qualifications for nomination. The earliest delegates can begin voting electronically will be Aug. 1, assuming Vice President Harris is the only candidate to declare and meet the required qualifications and delegate support threshold.Although unlikely, if more than one candidate declares and meets those requirements, a period of up to five days will be allowed for each candidate to make the case for nomination to the delegates before voting can begin.Harris announced she’d locked up the nomination within 36 hours of Biden’s exit from the race, noting she’d won commitments of backing from a majority of the nearly 4,000 delegates.”As a party, it’s our obligation to design and implement a fair nomination process for delegates to formally express their preferences through a vote to select an official presidential nominee of the Democratic Party who will go on to top the ballot in November,” DNC Chair Jaime Harrison said in a statement.
DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison appeared on the Today show this week and promised the process of nominating Harris will be ‘fair and transparent.’
From FOX News:
“This process is going to be fair, transparent, open, but it’s going to be fast. And we have designed it to allow our nominees to really hit the measures and to hit the requirements that are necessary to be on the ballot in all 50 states. And in Ohio, in order to be on that ballot, you have to have not only a presidential nominee but also a vice presidential nominee. So it is going to be up to the eventual nominee to make that determination. But we have designed this process so that they have the sufficient time in order to select who that may be,” Harrison said.

Right. Because everything about this has been so transparent so far.
