Direct Primary Law and the Senate Election Reform
E. D. Cowen argues that Section 37 of Washington's direct primary law binds legislative candidates to vote for the party’s top U S Senate choice. A party-backed pledge could curb holdover corruption and end senatorial deadlocks by enforcing the popular will on the first joint-session ballot. He urges county and state party organizations to require pledges and to instruct candidates, ensuring the legislature elects the people’s choice promptly.
