A Democratic Harmony Committee legal challenge seeks to strike down the new primary law’s provision allowing senatorial committees to fix the number of legislative nominees per district. Roy D. Keehn argues the rule authorizing nomination counts and the one two three vote cumulation are unconstitutional, while urging district conventions and mandamus actions to place convention-nominated names on ballots amid the current direct primary deadline.
