Reply #71: members of the DNC vote [View All]

Each state elects some people to the Democratic National Committee. Democratic elected officials at the federal level are also members, I believe.

States do it differently, but in Florida (the state I know), DNC members are elected by the state committeemen and state committeewomen. There is one of each from each county in Florida (they have weighted votes depending on a complex formula based on the number of registered Democrats in the county and the percentage of votes earned by the Democratic presidential and senatorial candidates). The state committeeman and state committeewoman are elected at the county level by precinct committeemen and women, who are elected by the registered Democrats in a precinct during the primary.
