A Democratic National Committee panel has taken the first step in a process that could void the victories of vice chairs David Hogg and Malcolm Kenyatta. While the matter is connected to a procedural complaint,

The DNC’s Credentials Committee voted on Monday to nullify the results of the February election in which Hogg and Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta won two of the three vice chair positions.

David Hogg has faced sharp criticism for his plan to fund challenges to incumbent Democrats, but a D.N.C. vote on Monday began with an earlier complaint about the procedures used in an internal party election.
