Alabama delegates who will vote at the Democratic National Convention this month have been selected and finalized by the national party despite protests by state leaders.
Members of the State Democratic Executive Committee loyal to the Alabama Democratic Party headed up by Nancy Worley and Randy Kelley, hold up cards in support of votes for new members to the SDEC during a meeting on Saturday, Nov. 16, 2019, at the Crump Center in Montgomery, Ala. .
“This illegal, self-serving group sought to appoint delegates to the Democratic National Convention instead of allowing people of Alabama to vote on them.” “Nowhere in history, nowhere in the rules, nowhere in laws does a presidential candidate or any other group appoint delegates,” Kelley stated in the release.
Kelley said he intends to challenge that decision, telling AL.com that “we’re going to bring it before the credentials committee if we can and we’re going to have some legal recourse to it….we’re gonna fight it and make it known.
The former senator said ongoing disputes between the state party and the DNC likely played a role in the situation. Jones was selected by the Biden campaign as a PLEO, but was not on the original slate voted on by the state party.
