- Description:
- A newspaper article discussing: The 17-member Idaho delegation to the 1980 Democratic National Convention faces internal debate over whether to support an open convention, with most delegates already committed to either Carter or Kennedy. The four uncommitted delegates may lean toward an open convention but are unlikely to switch their votes, as Carter has secured a strong lead in Idaho's primary. Despite the controversy over how delegates were chosen, Carter remains in a strong position for nomination, with Kennedy’s efforts unlikely to disrupt his path to victory.
