Brooklyn Democratic Party leader Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn casually proposed subverting voters to hang onto leadership of her county party Wednesday night, cavalierly presenting her plan to a bemused Errol Louis on NY1.
Bichotte Hermelyn, who has spent much of her time in the position trying to kick fellow Democrats off the ballot, announced with a straight face that the time had come for "reform" at the Brooklyn Democratic Party. She was issuing new rules that would expand the amount of people who can vote in the party's leadership election in September. There are currently 42 district leaders who elect the county leader. Bichotte Hermelyn said she wanted to expand that significantly.
