Delegate bill being argued in Harrisburg committee
In Harrisburg the House State Government Committee plans to decide a bill affecting the Pennsylvania delegation to the 1872 Democratic National Convention. Rep. Marty Comer leads a 21 member panel in a bid to refuse Gov. Shapp and state Democrats on a measure letting elected convention delegates declare presidential preference on the primary ballot. The bill aligns with new Democratic National Committee rules, though current state law bans it. Endorsers say the dispute mirrors a broader rift between Shapp and Philadelphia Democrats.
