“They have in the past – when they were fighting the change in the bylaws – Joe Reed called us Dixiecrats, compared me to George Wallace,” said Doug Jones. “So none of that’s new.”

The 2019 bylaws were created after the Jones group managed to win control of the organization. But the Reed group claimed the new caucuses diluted the ability of Black Democrats, the source of what strength Democrats have in Alabama, to hold leadership positions in the party. The Reed group elected Kelley chair at a meeting last year.

In an interview Wednesday evening, Jones called that “sad and pathetic,” said the letter sounded like it was written by Reed. The challenge from the 43 Democrats alleged several irregularities from the May 6 meeting, such as that a meeting notice was not given in a consistent manner to all committee members; that the meeting was not live streamed or recorded as required in the 2019 Bylaws, and there was a attempted to make the meeting close to the media, but members spoke out against it.

The group also wants a DNC data team to verify Alabama’s Black Democratic electorate, a critical part of determining representation on the SDEC. Additionally, accommodations should be made for disabled individuals in all meetings, with diversity caucuses provided necessary resources for their operations.

The chair said the fee had been in place for 50 years. But he also blamed Chris England, who chaired the ADP from 2019 to 2022, for the mandate for the fee.
