Debate Over Delegates and Primary Selection in Monongalia County
In Monongalia County the state nominating convention delegates were traditionally chosen at mass meetings, but this year the committee moved to place all candidates on the ballot for the May 2 primary and have the executive committee select delegates. The controversy centers on whether the committee may delegate delegate power and the right of voters to elect committee members, with past refusals and resignations cited. The discourse references Morgantown meetings, district conventions, and concerns about manipulating delegate selection prior to elections.
