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.
