Are DNC members even checking their phones during voting?

[Pandaguineapig]

I'm predicting Perez wins with about 240 votes

[Blackacre]

I kinda figured. Thanks for confirming.

If Perez had pulled that, many people would be going crazy. This is an incredibly shady move from Ellison's team, assuming it was done directly by them.

McMahon's the wife of the owner of the WWE, so that makes sense.

The first one is a little weird, it links to a 2009 appearance on Hannity where Cena agreed that she should be deported, but didn't really answer any questions. Not very much to go off of.

[Blackacre]

I'd say the John Cena meme could be recycled for the RNC, but come on, Trump may as well be John Cena

[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

What a mess:

Gabriel Debenedetti ‏@gdebenedetti
Now Team Ellison texts members walking back this claim of a Buttigieg endorsement, I'm told. Perez voters NOT happy.

Gabriel Debenedetti ‏@gdebenedetti
Ellison text *after* vote closes:  "CORRECTION: Mayor Pete did not endorse. We look forward to earning the the backing of his supporters."

Who cares if Perez voters are happy? They are ruining the party. Amscray.

Why do I think things are going to get ugly no matter who wins? Oh, right, maybe because that much is obvious.

Agreed. I now prefer Perez personally, but an Ellison victory is still probably best strategically.

If Ellison wins: Alan Dershowitz will leave the Democrats.
If Perez wins: Risk of permanent division w/ Berniecrats.

I'd take my chances with Ellison :V

[Confused Democrat]

COME ON ALREADY!

Quite analogous to what Lyin' Ted did in Iowa.

W/ SOURCES: Politically, Cena has endorsed Republican Connecticut Senate candidate Linda McMahon and advocated for the deportation of Obama's aunt–who is allegedly in the U.S. illegally. So, he's probably a Republican.

[Chief Justice Keef]

I'm not counting on Democrats making the right decision when they've made mistakes many times before, but please, pick Ellison.

The Chair of the Democratic Party isn't that important. The out party always looks messier and more disorganised than it really is. Both Ellison and Perez are strong progressives who have different factional loyalties rather than actual disagreements.

The next winning Democratic Presidential nominee will have 100x more impact on the direction of the Democratic Party.

2nd BALLOT

[Pyro]

Perez seriously just got one vote under the threshold?

[Antonio the Sixth]

F**KING CHRIST

[The Other Castro]

Perez - 213.5
Ellison - 200

Threshold was 214.5

[The_Doctor]

Ooh never mind.

[heatcharger]

Ronan with 0, amazing. Boynton Brown is the kingmaker now I guess.
