Conservatives Hold Control of Richmond Democratic Committee
The Richmond City Democratic Committee set rules to maintain conservative control for two years after a May 24 meeting. Delegates depend on Satterfield vote totals, limiting representation to precincts with 250 or more votes for Rep. David E. Satterfield III. Many precincts, including 19 with Black majorities, lose direct representation. Dr. Edward Haddock, running as an independent straight-ticket Democrat, outpolled Satterfield in those areas.
