DC Dems are putting their finger on the scale. Will they block the voters or let the rapist play kingmaker?

DC Democrats are icing out Matt Dunlap after trying and failing to stop him from becoming the nominee in ME-02. Now, they’ve successfully knocked off the ballot Nazi-lover and alleged rapist Graham Platner, even though Maine voters already spoke.

What will they do next? Will national Democrats once again put their finger on the scale and nominate whoever they want in Platner’s stead, or will they let the alleged rapist call the shots?

Either way, they have already shown their hand: DC Democrats don’t care about the voice of the voters if the result doesn’t give them their handpicked candidate.   

“National Democrats tried to put their finger on the scale in ME-02, and now history is repeating itself in the Senate race. Whether they determine the Senate nominee themselves or let the alleged rapist decide, they have already made it clear: Mainers can vote, but DC Democrats will determine the outcome.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
