...Democratic Party Charter.

I have quoted it a million times:

"Section 4.

The National Convention shall be composed of delegates equally divided between men and women. The delegates shall be chosen through processes which:

(a) assure all Democratic voters full, timely and equal opportunity to participate .....

(b) assure that delegations fairly reflect the division of preferences expressed by those who participate in the Presidential nominating process..."

Further, these are "processes" for nominating candidates to the offices of President, Vice-President, and the US Congress - all US Constitutional offices.

As such, they call for elections that must be governed by inherent and explicit constitutional safeguards as any other elections. ALL members must be guaranteed full and equal participation.

"Think process"? No, "process" is what was used to keep blacks and women from voting. Think voting rights. They are the only processes that count.
