The first ballot at the DNC meeting in Atlanta to elect the party’s next chair has been taken, but according to the established rules there’s not yet a winner:

Perez 213.5
Ellison 200

Tom Perez is ONE VOTE away from winning #DNCChair on the first ballot. He won 213.5 out of 214.5 necessary. The race goes to a second ballot
