Primary reform urged to improve North Dakota voting system
In a critique of the 1916 presidential primary, the Linton newspaper urges major changes to North Dakota primary laws. It argues for nonpartisan county offices, statewide delegate selection, and a combined primary-convention system to reduce fraud and raise voter information and engagement. It warns against cross-party manipulation and stresses honest delegates and citizen oversight.
