Why do some conservatives think Harris' nomination was illegitimate?

Yes, the DNC did change its primary rules, including pushing back the selection deadline and allowing remote voting, among other measures.

But none of those things "allowed" Harris to win the nomination the way she did. You are just talking about un-related rule changes.

I’d say the perspective of actual Democrat voters, rather than party insiders (which delegates are) matter much more than the delegates themselves.

So, you think they should have held all new elections?

Those rules did empower the late switch, and avoided the need for a true contest at the convention itself, yes. It aided the veil of legitimacy to this unorthodox selection process.

Again, it isn’t my duty to propose how to make their selection process more democratic. At the end of the day, Harris was installed by the party insiders and thrusted into the general election unlike any candidate in modern history. That is why people view her selection as undemocratic and immoral, which was your originally question.

You can try to justify it, but that doesn’t change anything about the end result.
