Republicans to Seek Primary Law Amendments at County Meeting
Pottawattamie Republicans in their county convention plan to push resolutions for repealing or remodeling the primary law on the delegate plan. They argue the county primary produced city candidate advantages and seek action at the upcoming convention amid debate over the law’s supporters and potential changes. Creston Republicans also contest the recent Creston primary with a full recount demanded by progressives, arguing standpatters used printed ballot slips with pre printed crosses.
