State Machine Defiant Over Primary Plan In Tennessee
The Tennessee state machine rejects local control as Gov. Patterson pushes a plan for June 27 primaries for Governor and other offices with a July 14 state convention. The State Committee would supervise election officers via a three member sub committee, while direct primaries faced opposition and failed to gain approval. Patterson allies hold majority on the committee as Carmack supporters sought control over local election officers.
