Louisiana Democrats split as Wallace plans on Nov 3 ballot
In Baton Rouge both factions claimed victory in a Democratic dispute over presidential electors. The compromise allows Wallace supporters to appear on the November ballot with the national donkey emblem, while McKeithen loyalists push a unit vote and a scorched earth pledge if alignment fails. Delegates total 92 with 46 votes, under a two thirds rule. McKeithen named delegation chairman.
