New York Assembly Passes Three Direct Primary Bills
In Albany the New York Assembly approved three direct primary bills in a single session, one without debate. A Travia sponsored measure would let statewide candidates enter a party primary with 7500 petition signatures, while another would require party committee selection with possible challenges for 25 percent of committee votes or 10,000 signatures with county support. The third preserves a state convention but allows a 15 percent convention vote entrant to challenge the nominee. The bills head to the Senate, then governor, as Powell engages Harlem politics with a separate outcome in a special election contest.
