| Description | The chaotic ending of a Democratic congressional nominating convention last month was intensely dissected Thursday night in a special hearing as delegates and advocates contested the significance of unsigned paperwork and other irregularities.
Waterbury Mayor Neil O’Leary and Scott X. Esdaile, president of the Connecticut NAACP, argued in a nearly three-hour, often heated hearing before a dispute-resolution committee that there were numerous flaws and mistakes made at the convention.
“One of these issues that we’re dealing with today is a young lady from this particular district who strived to be the first African American to get the nomination for a U.S. Congress seat,” Esdaile said. “So, it does have federal implications, and we are coming before the Democratic party that represents democracy to make sure civil rights have not been violated.” |
