Question on status of county precinct committeemen debated
Gladstone MacKenzie asked Chief Deputy County Attorney Colin Dodd whether county precinct committeemen are superior or equal to precinct committeemen. The issue arose after politicians demanded separate ballots for county committeemen in September primaries. The law sets one county precinct committeeman per precinct plus one per 75 votes. The statute states county committeemen compose the county committee. Previously, county attorneys held both roles are equal and part of the county committee, preventing crowding out precinct committeemen. Only 13 of many candidates filed for county precinct committeeman petitions.
