Contested seat of Senator Gray examined by committee
The General Judiciary Committee reports on H. W. Gray's contested Fourth district Senate seat. It finds no jurisdiction under the 1839 act to hear the petition now, urges a legislative reform to replace partisan committee selection with a random lottery-based method, and proposes a bill to adopt a fairer system for contested elections.
