Lack of Convention Sparks Debate Over County Unit System
The state executive committee won’t call a democratic convention to nominate Governor Smith’s successor but will collect and consolidate county results. The unit system grants each county a single vote to the plurality winner. If no candidate gains a majority, nomination may go to the top vote getter without a majority, a point of concern given past opposition to county unit rules. Joe Brown is expected to secure a majority, averting this issue, yet the method appears at odds with prior objections to nonmajority nominations.
