Democratic primary delegate rules (actual election rules) clearly state male and female representation. Everyone knew that going in.
I understand you disagree with it, but it is the same rule used for county and State conventions as well as state party governance.
Yes, but the imbalance was not created by the elected delegates. They were in balance. It was an imbalance in the super delegate ranks that threw things off and rather than boot a couple of the super delegates, they went against the will of the people who elected delegates. Some delegates are just more special than others I suppose. This must be a new form of Affirmative Action for the Democrats. '
Someday they'll likely toss votes from general elections if in their opinion too many men or too many whites voted.
