The Democratic Party is questioning the outsized role played by early-voting states like Iowa in determining the presidential nominee.
Some members of Democratic National Committee's powerful Rules and Bylaws Committee on Friday continued to raise the prospect of overhauling the party's nominating process, including questioning the outsized role that states like Iowa play in determining the nominee.
"Some of you may have read about a supposed draft resolution," Roosevelt said."No resolution is coming to this committee. The substance of the resolution is coming out of this conversation in this committee. There is no prepared resolution floating around out there." "Three of the four current early window states satisfy at least two of those criteria. One does not satisfy any of them, at least in recent years," Elleithee said at the January meeting.
In an interview Wednesday, DNC Chair Jamie Harrison didn't express a preference about whether Iowa should be replaced as the first state to vote in the presidential primary process
