Plan to deny Wallace wins Capitol support
A plan to block George Wallace from leverage in a contested election won support from two former national party chiefs and other leaders. If neither major candidate secures 270 electoral votes, the House would pick the president by state with one vote per state. Wallace said he will seek Ohio ballot access via a court challenge demanding 433,000 signatures. Governors and GOP leaders gathered in Cincinnati to discuss the nomination and policy issues including military spending and price stability.
