Democratic Convention Starts Tomorrow

A quick news roundup the day before the 2020 Democratic National Convention starts, live from Milwaukee, well, everywhere:

The Washington Post details the production plans, including:

Homebound delegates will be dialed in to quick feeds of the live speeches, so their real-time reactions can be broadcast to the country as if they were in the same room as the speakers.

Speaking of Milwaukee, the Times visits would should have been the center of the political universe this week:

Instead of thousands of Democrats preparing to gather at the newly built Fiserv Forum, there was just one street blocked off this weekend near the smaller Wisconsin Center, which will host the last few parts of the Democratic National Convention that will still take place in this city. Hotels were closed, restaurants were empty and the bars of America’s most beer-loving city were eerily barren.

Here’s a list of all the virtual caucus events.

And voting actually ended yesterday:

Delegates are voting by email ballots on (1) the nomination of the Presidential candidate (Biden/Sanders/Abstain), (2)  the Democratic Party 2020 Platform, and (3) a Rules Committee Resolution directing the DNC to continue the process of party reform.
