Contested Delegates and RNC Rules Debate
Ex Senator William E Chandler questions how the Republican National Committee should handle delegates elected by conventions with discriminatory conditions. The piece argues that fixed rules excluding groups or individuals cannot be justified and stresses citizen, voter, and state law qualifications over arbitrary bans.
Voter Eligibility and Racial Representation in Delegates
The piece argues states may set their own qualifications and that the national committee verifies which delegate group has a prima facie claim when two sets appear. It maintains white voters will largely control delegations in restricted states, but asserts colored delegates can be substantial and that districts may elect all white or all black delegates without losing Republican status.
