Quota System Written Out Of Demo Rules
The Democratic reform commission drafted a unanimous rule to delete the 1972 quota language that split the party by mandating representation for women youth and minorities at the Miami Beach convention. A proportional representation replacement and room for previously excluded officials were approved as part of a compromise set for full approval later. The rule removes the requirement of representation in relation to population while promising continued efforts to bring in underrepresented groups. The report notes the 1972 quotas created divisions and protests within the party and future steps aim to prevent delegates being shifted between candidates.
