(51,277 posts)The DNC did not and could not stop Sanders from getting on the ballot. Each state determines the requirements for a candidate to get on the ballot. In my state it requires a petition signed by 500 registered voters in each congressional district. In other states it may require a filing fee. The DNC does not control that. Neither does the state party.
The DNC is not made up of just one or a few. And chair of the DNC is not a position that is held for a long term. Chairs usually only serve for one term if that. She doesn't benefit from trying to keep the status quo. There are over 430 others including members of Congress and Governors that are part of the DNC.
Those documents apply to the government not to a political organization. The people are not going to run a private organization. It is in this case Democratic activists that have a say. Not outsiders that are not Democrats.
