McGovern Near First Ballot as NEA Count Feeds Momentum
NEA National Observer’s fourth delegate count shows George McGovern climbing to 1,378 votes, within about 130 percent of the 1,509 needed for nomination, buoyed by June primaries and potential gains from Muskie delegates. Humphrey falls to 405, Wallace at 387, with McGovern piling up votes across 27 states and a likely surge if New York’s 278 votes tilt his way.
