Democrats Adopt Ballot Primary in Rockingham County
The Democratic county committee in Rockingham, Virginia, approved a ballot primary to nominate legislature candidates amid concerns about money and voting rights. The move preserves openness while shifting from precinct meetings to a direct vote, aiming for party unity and to prevent factionalism. George N. Conrad’s 1912 prophecy that next House nominees would be chosen by direct primary is cited as now realized.
