Ballot access restrictions are pretty much the only reason for someone outside the party machine to run as a democrat at this point.

Because it's the first special election after a DNC chair election in which all candidates promised to support state parties aggressively. It's about showing the base that you meant it and showing the flag in some of these high-profile elections. Even a pittance would avoid the stories about the DNC abandoning the race. An investment that would have paid off in the long run.

but how would the lanyards get their consulting fees????

Democrats had been expected to fight against the amendment, but in a surprising move party leadership presented no opposition. "Que sera, sera," DNC chair Tom Perez told reporters in the run-up. "Whatever will be will be."
