McGovern Stripped Of 151 California Delegates
The Democratic Credentials Committee voted 72 to 66 to strip 151 of McGovern’s California delegates won in the winner take all primary. The move, led by Humphrey supporters, would shrink McGovern’s pledged total and faces an expected convention floor appeal. California committee members cited the rule on unit voting and disenfranchised voters as grounds for the realignment.
