The state of the democratic party continues to veer to the hellish:
Could the state of the DNC get any worse? Well, yes, always, apparently. Look no further than the current DNC Rules Committee, who recently published new rules for who can and cannot speak during the Dem debates. The new standards do away with the grassroots funding threshold previously required, meaning billionaire former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, who is self-funding his campaign, could potentially be onstage at Nevada’s Feb. 16 debate.
How convenient, right? Well, that may largely be because of who has seats on the committee. Those present include Michael Nutter, Philadelphia’s mayor from 2008-2016, who is a part of the 32-member Standing Rules and Bylaws Committee and also Bloomberg’s choice for national political chair.
Publicly, the push for more inclusive rules for the debates did not come from Bloomberg. Instead, Julián Castro and Cory Booker, who both dropped out last year, were the ones to call for it. Andrew Yang, who most likely would not qualify for the next debate if the previous rules were in place, wrote a letter to DNC Chairman Tom Perez asking that there be more qualifying polls in place for this issue. Yang’s press secretary S.Y. Lee tweeted Jan.

DNC Offers Startup $500 Million To Develop Pencil That Can Accurately Record Election ResultsWASHINGTON—Hoping the yellow, graphite-based writing instrument would allay voter doubts following the chaos of the Iowa caucuses, the Democratic National Committee reportedly offered a technology startup $500 million Tuesday to develop a pencil that can accurately record election results. “As of this morning, we have commissioned the design and manufacture of a cutting-edge tabulation device that will be able to legibly report vote totals on a sheet of paper 99% of the time,” said DNC chair Tom Perez, holding up a rough prototype of the 7.5-inch hexagonal marking implement, which will be built and rigorously stress-tested by a new Silicon Valley business venture known as Sharpen. “It may not be easy to encase a cylinder of graphite with wood or put a slick coat of glossy paint on its outside. But with this new partnership, we believe we will soon have at our disposal a pencil that is both reliable and totally resistant to any attack by foreign powers. Also, because it can be sharpened, this new delegate-reporting tool can be used repeatedly, lasting us through New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina, and perhaps even Super Tuesday.” At press time, sources confirmed plans for the pencil had been scrapped after election security experts warned the rubber eraser on its tip would quickly erode public trust in the product.
