Deadlock Over Primaries Splits Massachusetts Legislature
The Massachusetts legislature remains divided over a presidential preference primary bill, with the house amending to include delegates at large and district delegates by primaries, then killing a competing amendment. The bill returns to the senate, which recently rejected a similar move, and conference committees are expected to be appointed to bridge the gap. In Michigan, the house passed a presidential preference primary bill effective immediately, binding national convention delegates to presidential nominees and adopting a second substitute for direct nomination by the primary. Delegates will be elected by the state convention but act according to the primary vote.
