The Brooklyn Democratic Party's first ever virtual full membership meeting went off the rails Wednesday, with party bigs miscounting votes and members pushing them for more transparency during a wild 13-hour Zoom call.
"We are the laughing stock of this entire city," said Bushwick Assemblywoman Maritza Davila toward the latter half of the triple-marathon meeting. "We wasted a whole nine hours — whole nine hours — I went to the Bronx and came back and we are still dealing with the same stuff."
The inaugural digital gathering of the borough party — officially known as the Kings County Democratic County Committee — fell apart after a tabulation error during a vote on renewing party rules, which counted more votes than there are members in the party in total.
