In reply to the discussion: I will be running for a Kings County Democratic Committee seat this year... [View all]SocialDemocrat61
(2,070 posts)47. Brooklyn or Kings county
And there are over 4000 county committee people here. Having meetings and votes is really difficult. The one meeting they had when I was on county committee was in a small sports arena and had us all in the stands. It wound up being so chaotic nothing got done. Its easier to have all the county committee people give a vote proxy and let the district leader vote them as a bloc.

Why did you post that "the first thing they have you to do is sign a voting proxy"?
