Georgia Unit Vote To Be Aired
The Supreme Court agreed to review Georgia county unit vote litigation used in Democratic primaries, with the Sept. 12 primary in doubt as the court did not grant emergency status. A lower court in Atlanta ruled the system unconstitutional and injunctions remain in place. Justice Harlan suggested possible stay relief while the appeal proceeds. The unit plan favors metropolitan voters by weighting county units, triggering criticism. In other actions, Sinclar Refining Co. won a no-strike case over AFL CIO Oil Workers Union damages and Frank Grumman’s 1957 contempt conviction was set aside.
