The party will require contenders to meet both a higher polling standard and a larger fundraising target, the Democratic National Committee said on Wednesday. Under the new standards, candidates must reach 2 percent or higher in four public opinion polls, conducted nationally or in early voting states, and must demonstrate they have received contributions from 130,000 unique donors as well 400 unique voters in 20 states. The tougher criteria are double those of the first two debates.
