@OperationOdin44@aldotcom They voided the results of the election on May 19th. Changed the map. Scheduled a whole new election at taxpayer expense. That was beyond dirty.
On Monday, our Democratic candidates attended the AFL CIO Conference in Montgomery, and asked for their endorsement.
It's a shame that the Party Chair didn't come today. Shame that he didn't come last fall when Labor Leaders asked for a meeting with state party leadership.
@AdeleCulp It wasn't solved under the previous DNC chair either. In general, the DNC is just not particularly interested in overthrowing state parties. They expect us to be able to elect decent leadership ourselves. And on Saturday, we did!
Surely if the DNC knew about these problems in Alabama, they would do something, right?!? Oh, they know. Here's what they've said Alabama MUST do for this Saturday's meeting. It's all hands on deck to document the myriad ways in which they are violating this Order.
As the 2022 election was approaching, I was deeply concerned about voter protection (in light of the election denialism of 2020). I was attending meetings with state party leaders from other states and learning about how other states do Voter Protection (aka VoPro).
@DavidDark Well, lots of people dislike him. Lots of people want to see him out as chair. Unfortunately, those aren't the people with the power to actually take him down.
Remember when Randy Kelley sued the Alabama Democratic Party because it elected Representative Chris England as Chair? This frivolous lawsuit, which he lost, cost the party quite a bit of money. https://t.co/lkZxMbegNc
In the letter shown below, Joe L Reed instructs local ADC leaders to ask for money from ADP County Committees and from candidates. He does this despite the fact that a county party giving money to ADC would be illegal. (It's called a PAC to PAC transfer.)
Chairman Kelley's contempt for me made national news.
I took his criticism of me seriously. If I wasn’t able to earn his trust by demonstrating competence and initiative, maybe I could earn his trust by doing less, being less visible.
(Spoiler alert, it didn't work.)
@SpikingTDs I haven't really been on X, but I'm trying to get better about getting back into it. Unfortunately, I got back on X just as I started this tirade in preparation for the Aug 8 election. See my best work on Facebook.
When my Senate Campaign bought an ad from the Alabama Democratic Conference in April (on a check made out to the Alabama Democratic Conference), I asked for a receipt. Despite multiple requests for clarity, this is all they would give me.
