The “noes” were louder. Why was this railroaded through? There’s no way that it passed with two-thirds “ayes”.

Exactly. A 2/3 majority should be TWICE as loud as the opposition. Someone’s going to take a decibel meter to this and have some fun with it.

It’s a strange way to count votes in a “Democratic” party.

My guess is that the party bigwigs knew that taking "God" and the Jerusalem thing out of the platform was political suicide, so the vote was fixed. I think Villaraigosa redid the vote 3 times because he was waiting for the dumbass delegates to get a clue and start vocally supporting the re-instatement, but I guess many of them didn't get the memo, heh.

That’s the kind of democracy you get from the Democrats!
