Democratic Leaders Reject Proposed N.Y. Primary Bill
Albany N Y Democratic leaders rejected a direct primary bill on Monday night though it enjoys cross party support. They will submit a substitute bill. The measure would shift nominating power to party state committees with runner ups able to challenge via primary. A 25 percent vote or 10 000 signatures across counties would place candidates on the ballot. The leaders said the bill does not meet the needs of New Yorkers and warned it would leave a lame duck committee in charge. They raised questions on party relations and statewide nominee process and applicability to Court of Appeals elections.
