## Resource

Andrew Rice’s bid to overturn his loss in Connecticut’s Democratic primary has been shut down by party officials, but his fight isn’t over—he’s now racing against time to gather thousands of signatures to force his way onto the ballot. While the panel found no evidence the convention process was rigged, Rice and other challengers are pushing back against what they see as a closed system that favors incumbents. With petition routes proving tough but possible, the battle isn’t just about one race—it’s about reshaping how Democrats choose their candidates, demanding more openness, more choices, and more power for voters.
