Pocahontas County Nomination Split in State Race
In Pocahontas County the June primary produced four state representative candidates with Byron G. Allen pushed aside at the July Republican convention. A Palmer meeting formed an independent bid supported by 1684 county residents to challenge the convention result, arguing for primary nomination and fair treatment, while endorsing Allen’s candidacy and noting local political tensions and resident eligibility questions.
