The Democratic National Committee’s virtual roll call vote has closed, and the Democratic Party announced that Vice President Kamala Harris received the votes of 99% of the participating delegates.
In a statement late Monday, Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison and Minyon Moore, the Democratic National Convention committee chair, said that the roll call results would next be certified by the convention’s secretary, Jason Rae, formalizing Harris’ status as the Democratic nominee who will take on Republican nominee Donald Trump in November.
You are correct about all of that, but don’t get caught in a word trap. A constitutional republic is a type of democracy. It is a representative democracy, instead of a direct democracy.
No countries are direct democracies but they are still democracies. It just means “the people choose their leaders”.
