This is weird. As I read this, they are by fiat deciding to reduce Hillary’s lead to get their delegates seated? Is that right? That’s so far from democracy I need confirmation.

Not much less democratic than holding a primary without all the candidates on the ballot.

Democracy has nothing to do with how a political party chooses it’s nominee. There is no constitutional ‘right’ to even participate in choosing the nominee of your party. The Dims or Republicans can choose their candidate however they want. It might not look good from a public relations stand point, but it is their ‘right’.
