Yes everyone, I got it wrong. I'm not on the Executive Committee. I haven't seen the petition in question. I didn't attend the meeting that was mentioned. I simply have no idea what I'm talking about and you should listen to the KnoxGOP chair and the News Sentinel.
Of course, you'd be wrong on every point but that doesn't seem to bother Brian so why should it bother you?
Back to the issue at hand. Yes, Jim Andrews is working to make sure that the executive committee sides with the will of the voters. Which, from what I can tell, we do. Eventually, we'll meet officially with the media present, open nominations, and put it to a proper vote according to our bylaws. In the end, what Knox County voters will see is is that the Democratic party respects their vote.
Will the KnoxGOP be able to say the same thing?
Stupid question, of course they'll say it, true or not.
But will Knox County voters believe them?

Another point
This was a Democratic Primary Election. This is not about the will of Knox County voters, it is about the will of Knox County Democratic voters. While we may have open primaries, this does not mean someone can vote both sides of the ballot. Whoever the Democratic candidates end up being on the general election ballot, will be the will of Knox County Democrats through a system of representation.

Let the 1069 1st District Democratic Primary voters caucus to nominate the Democratic 1st District County Commission Candidate!!!
