State Delegates Mum On Choice
Kansas Democratic delegates to the national convention largely avoid public declarations on preference while awaiting the first ballot. The unit rule binds their votes to a majority, with about 10 delegates remaining silent about whom they favor. Opinions split between Stevenson backers and Harriman supporters, and several delegates have yet to decide or disclose intentions until voting. The group faces ticket frustrations and limited pitches from candidates as Thursday’s key ballot approaches.
