That’s reassuring. I can understand that it’ll take a little time for the leadership to hit it’s stride, and that a few oversights are to be expected.

It’s an awfully strange coincidence, though.

I spoke to Pete and learned that this was a simple mistake of the uncorrected form being uploaded to the site. Sorry, no conspiracy here.

It was corrected. It was a simple oversight and there is no preference being made in this race. The PWCDC was simply trying to get the information out there and online for everyone to see as soon as possible. Thanks for catching this.

The problem is you don’t pre-fill the name of a candidate prior to the filing deadline passing. The delegate form should not be available to anyone until after the deadline passes. My guess is Deb Vaughn put the form together and not Pete but he should have caught this obvious mistake.

Vic Bras resigned earlier this year after Helen Cram was re-appointed to the Electoral Board as the Democrats representative over the objections of PWCDC leadership.

At this point, only Dion is a declared candidate. As such, delegates can either be undecided or Dion delegates. Let’s hope that if/when another candidate comes forward, the form is updated to include his/her name as well as Dion’s or to remove all names. It does seem odd, though.

What’s with the water, indeed.

Dems taking lessons from Kopko, that’s a hoot!

I guess I don’t follow the PWCDC. What happened to Vic Bras?
