Tar Heel Democrats Begin Naming Convention Delegates
North Carolina Democrats start selecting convention delegates after the first presidential primary. McGovern supporters aim to gain delegates in urban counties and hope some switch to McGovern as district conventions pick 48 delegates and 14 today at large. The process emphasizes cross‑section representation with precinct to state levels. Charlotte volunteers organize to attend precinct meetings, but McGovern lacks a statewide organization.
