Democratic Party leaders have reportedly come up with new guidelines for state conventions in hopes of avoiding a repeat of the chaos that erupted in Nevada last weekend.
Politico reports the proposed rules from New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Raymond Buckley, president of the Association of State Democratic Chairs, came at a Friday meeting to discuss the party's July national convention.
The proposals would require the campaigns of presidential rivals Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders to send senior staff to the remaining state conventions, Politico reports.
Convention leaders also would need to provide proposed rules to both campaigns and the Democratic National Committee 48 hours in advance — and campaigns would help cover the cost of any needed law enforcement or security.
Buckley also called for campaigns and the DNC work more closely together to help conventions run more smoothly.
