Scheme to Decrease Southern GOP Vote
New York April 6 Charles D Hiiles, chairman of the republican national committee, outlines a plan to cut southern representation in the national convention from about 35 percent to under 16 percent. The plan, ratified by December resolutions, would let states elect delegates by direct primaries and allow at large and district delegates, with Alaska DC and territories adjusting. The proposed change would reduce several states' votes and set thresholds for district delegates. Ratification by state conventions is urged, aiming to reflect party majority and enable primary-based delegate selection.
