Primary change goes thru on sfante 3101 primary reform
Des Moines Feb 14 The time ball primary election bill to nominate state officers by convention passed the Iowa Senate 34 to 11 with five absent. It would nominate United States senators governors lieutenant governors and all district and county officers in a primary while state officers go to convention. An amendment by Senator Buser requires nomination papers filed timely to avoid vacancy. Debate centered on returning to old machine politics and proof that primaries reduce influence of machines. House expected to consider proxies provision and likely pass the measure, with current red flag bills shaping Senate and House actions.
