The DNC Is Rejecting Iowa’s Virtual Caucus Plans, Thereby Screwing Up the First 2020 Caucus
At least two sources told the Des Moines Register that the Democratic National Committee is poised to reject Iowa’s plan for virtual caucuses, which means the nation’s first 2020 presidential caucus could get incredibly screwed up. The decision came after a meeting of the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee in California last week.
The “virtual caucus” proposal was introduced in February. It would allow registered Dems to still take part in the caucus, just over the phone. Traditionally, the Iowa caucus — the first in the nation’s long-ass presidential election — is a loud, in-person affair.
