Alabama Democratic Party Chair Randy Kelley said 81 qualified candidates to be delegates were wrongly excluded from the March primary.
Alabama Democratic Party Chairman Randy Kelley said Tuesday that Alabama Democrats were wrongly denied the ability to choose their delegates to this year’s Democratic National Convention.
Kelley said that meant many good Democrats who had worked hard for the party were unfairly denied a spot on the ballot. Kelley said he sent Biden a letter about the dispute but said he does not think the president is aware of it. Buckner said the dispute could potentially hurt Democrats in November because many of those disqualified from seeking delegate slots worked hard for the party and might now be less willing to devote their time to those efforts.
“We’ve talked back and forth with the national party,” Kelley said. “But we hadn’t got answers. So that’s why we’re having this press conference to make the public know about it. As long as it’s swept under the rug then this kind of behavior is going to continue to happen.
