Tim Davenport Upholds Primary Law In 19th Century Debate
Silverton writer Tim Davenport defends the direct primary against critics who claim higher costs. He argues old conventions drained funds via 60,000 or more in state party costs, while primaries reduce expenses by eliminating county and state conventions and their associated per diems. He questions who pays the bill and cites political incentives, noting legislative per diems and convention expenditures as evidence of the system’s incentives and potential for quid pro quo arrangements.
