It is customary on the final day of CPAC for the results of a straw poll to be announced.  One year ago CPAC attendees were predominantly members of the #NeverTrump variety, they even had a plan to walk out of CPAC if candidate Donald Trump delivered a speech.

Today in Atlanta 435 members of the Democrat National Committee will meet to vote on the next Chairperson for the DNC.  The two top candidates are Representative Keith Ellison and former Labor Secretary Tom Perez.  Watch Live Voting Here

**UPDATE** Tom Perez wins !!!

As a consolation to the activists, after victory Chairman Perez asked for a suspension of the rules and voice nominated Keith Ellison for Deputy Chair.  The DNC voted affirmatively in that regard.   Tom Perez is Chairman and Keith Ellison is Deputy Chair.
