San Antonio chapter submits resolutions to both parties calling to abandon the unit rule limiting votes at precinct district and state conventions. Nancy Phillips, ACLU president, says the rule violates the rights of up to 49 percent of attendees and may prompt court action with voters from Democratic and Republican parties seeking reform. Corpus Christi residents request legal help and threaten Supreme Court if needed.
