Rep. Tulsi Gabbard said the revelations that the Democratic National Committee rigged the 2016 election for Hillary Clinton underscores the need for an overhaul of campaign finance laws and a complete overhaul of the national party.
Mrs. Gabbard, Hawaii Democrat, resigned as vice chair of the DNC in 2016 to endorse Sen. Bernard Sanders of Vermont in the Democratic primary last year and has been outspoken in her criticism of the way the DNC handled the election.
“The DNC secretly chose their nominee over a year before the primary elections even occurred. This shines a light on how deeply broken our campaign finance laws are, and how they’ve weakened individual candidates while strengthening and empowering political parties and special interested,” Mrs. Gabbard says in a video she blasted out Friday. “These laws allowed the Clinton campaign to bypass individual campaign contribution limits by funneling millions of dollars through the DNC and state parties — taking control of the DNC in the process.”
The video comes after Donna Brazile, who took over as interim chair of the DNC on the eve of the Democratic National Convention, released a new book that reveals that the Clinton campaign helped the DNC retire debt leftover from 2012 in exchange for having significant control over the party.
In her video, Ms. Gabbard, who is considered a possible 2020 presidential candidate, called for the end of “superdelegates” and to open up the primary contests by adopting same-day voter registration.
“No more games, no more retaliation, no more picking of winners or losers — we must act now to take back our party,” she said.

They simply need to get more corrupt than they are and go even further left.
That should solve the problem.
“to open up the primary contests by adopting same-day voter registration.”
What could ever go wrong with that?/s
I support the DNC staying the way it is. They should look to organizations like the Cleveland Brown’s front office as one to emulate. That should ensure that we continue to Make America Great....
Tulsi Gabbard is formidable.
The Democrat Party was corrupt long before she entered politics, and will remain corrupt long after she leaves.
Try ditching Marxism. Anything short of that is not going to help y’all a bit.
Tulsi already has her answer, despite her understanding of the intentions of our nations founders.
Sorry, NO new laws...just enforce the campaign finance laws on the books and throw the worthless POS Hillary Clinton in prison along with her vial attorney Mark Elias.
What needs to emphasized is that the DNC rigging their primary is just a window into their corrupted soul. The rigging and corruption continued into the national election AND it’s aftermath. A second most important point is how TOTALLY complicit in this subterfuge is the MSM with their incessant FAKE news.
Unlike many political types, she is sincere.
Hopefully Trump will form a coalition with the few willing dimwits and further divide them. This woman seems to have her wits about her and should not be allowed to reform the real CP of A!
Without superdelegates’, this would have been a brokered convention which Clinton would probably have lost.
And for this Sanders got 600k to just go away.
Lol! Maybe the dimwits will start kneeling at the beginning of each session of Congress! Wouldn’t put it past them!
Hopefully, she will wake up and smell the coffee....
...or learn the true meaning of “covfefe”....
...She may even discover the answer is 42.
73s Have a good day.
Best election ever!
They better do something or Bolshevik Bernie and Comrade De Nausio will be their next ticket.
They could just look into the Seth Rich thing. I suspect that would make a lot of the problems in the DNC “go away”. If you know what I mean.
I agree with you. She seems to be one of a small handful of HOR Dems who seems to have integrity. Just the kind of person the party bosses can’t stand.
Everyone knows about the 800 pound gorilla in the room.
