Wright Defends Georgia Plan on May 1 Presidential Primary
In a public statement Chairman W. C. Wright of the Georgia Democratic Executive Committee argues the May 1 presidential primary abandons the county unit plan to comply with a national committee ruling. He asserts the two permissible methods for selecting delegates ensure fair, direct voter expression for president with no trading or graft possible. The plan places four named candidates on the ticket with a blank line for write‑ins and uses county committees to appoint delegates to the state convention in a system consistent with prior actions and the national committee's rules.
