Florida Representative Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has announced she will resign as chair of the Democratic National Committee. The resignation is to become effective after the party's convention. The organisation's e-mail system was hacked; leaked e-mails appear to confirm accusations that Wasserman-Schultz had taken action favouring Hillary Clinton in her contest against Bernie Sanders to become the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. Sanders had previously called for Wasserman-Schultz to resign, a request he reiterated in light of the leak.
Wasserman-Schultz said in a statement:
I know that electing Hillary Clinton as our next president is critical for America's future. I look forward to serving as a surrogate for her campaign in Florida and across the country to ensure her victory.

In open-primary states, they wouldn't have needed to do that: ask for whichever ballot you want on the way in and vote on it, no questions asked. Open primaries are horrible primarily for this reason, as they're not an accurate gauge of who the members of a party want representing them.

Oy! I was hoping I was joking... This probably explains why these two won it. We apparently have a system where everybody is just trying to vote against each other. What is the solution for this?
