Plan to overhaul 1960 Democratic convention voting
Paul M. Butler proposes a new allocation plan to replace the 1944 bonus system. The plan would grant three votes per U.S. senator and two and a half per House member, with fractional results rounded up. It adds ex officio delegates from the national committee and adjusts DC PR Virgin Islands and Canal Zone votes. Fights loom as states gain or lose delegates under the proposal.
