Humphrey Papers Tax Deduction Fight Domination Debate
The IRS denies Humphrey $200000 in income tax deductions for gifting Vice Presidential papers to the Minnesota Historical Society due to a future-interest rule. He limits public access for 25 years, citing the vast contents from 1965 to 1969 and concerns about misuse while preserving national interests. Democrats propose a 1976 convention rule shift cutting 19 votes from southern states to empower big city delegates. The move aims to curb conservative southern influence and alter nomination dynamics amid party realignments.
