“We cannot and we will not succeed unless we move together, unified as a party,” Tyna Davis, Montgomery County chair who presided over the meeting, said at its start.
The State Democratic Executive Committee met Saturday in Montgomery. The party did not change its bylaws, a possibility that concerned some before the meeting. The Alabama Democratic Party’s executive committee meeting began Saturday with a call for unity, but was quickly marred by in-fighting over conflicting bylaws.
But there was no vote taken to change those laws. Instead, the proposed bylaws at times seemed to be confused with the bylaws established in 2019, with members unable to agree on who could nominate members for caucuses and who had the right to preside over the meeting.The disagreements led Davis to call for a postponement of the meeting, which failed by a vote of 63-60.
In the nearly four hours that the meeting lasted, the group only voted to fill a handful of vacancies within caucuses and on the State Democratic Executive Committee.
