Judge Porter Rules Winter Socialist Primary Required
Judge Porter grants the Socialist petition to force Lawrence county officials to hold a winter primary on January 25 under the 1906 act. The decision insists primaries must be held in districts where nominations or party officers are elected and that county commissioners must provide ballots and run the process, though non Socialist parties may opt out. The opinion frames the law as mandatory and aimed at ensuring party nominations while preserving nonpartisan options for other voters.
