This comes after New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan, a Republican, announced that the state would hold its primary on January 23, undermining Democrats’ efforts to hold the party’s first primary in South Carolina on February 3rd.
“We are aware that the Party intends to organize a delegate selection process on Saturday, January 6,” the letter reads. “We recommend that you inform participants that this process has not been approved by the RBC and, therefore, is not the approved route to becoming a National Convention Delegate, nor will it be recommended for approval by the RBC.”
Buckley said in a statement to POLITICO that “it’s nothing new. They’ve been saying that for a year, but we persist.”
