Unicorn Riot

On the evening of Monday, June 8, across the city, Democratic Party ward organization meetings convened to select ward leaders from among committee people, who were just elected in a May 19 primary. The “open wards” movement flipped several wards around the city, but in a controversial meeting, Ward 22 leadership refused to allow a person-by-person vote.

In the heated meeting, Cindy Bass, the previous term’s ward leader and city council member, quickly held a voice vote, declared herself once again the chair, and closed the meeting within a few minutes, a recording obtained by Unicorn Riot showed. People spilled out of the Germantown Seventh-Day Adventist Church on Cliveden Street as our reporter arrived at about 8:05 p.m., many frustrated that they had been denied any attempt to get their votes individually counted.

Minutes later, tension outside mounted as the committee people present had noticed the event’s official sign-in sheets had a printed total showing a specific vote count for Bass and were making photos of these documents. There was briefly a scuffle, and committee member Gabriel Kuriloff got pushed into the back side of a car as the sergeant-at-arms and one of Bass’ supporters retrieved the sheets and walked off. Another Bass opponent attempted to get the sheets from him unsuccessfully.
