Legislature debates primary reform amid broad opposition
In a special session the legislature debated eliminating the primary to return to old convention nominating methods. Special interests back a change, while organized labor farmers and progressives mobilize petitions around 100000 signers to protest. Indications show lawmakers unlikely to alter the system as some former Warner-Hompe supporters and Rocine allies shift to defend the primary.
