Virginia Democrats vote in statewide primary without major races
In a quiet statewide primary, Virginia Democrats rejected any Negro candidate by a narrow margin and incumbents generally won renomination. A tabulating error briefly altered the Richmond result for Dr. W. Ferguson Reid, who fell 59 votes short of nominating status after a miscount. Across districts, several races favored establishment figures while a few upsets occurred in Senate and House contests.
