Defeat Deferred: Democratic Executive Committee Punts On Kurita

By Kleinheider Posted on September 13, 2008 at 5:28 pm

The Tennessee Democratic Party Executive Committee has voted to declare state Sen. Rosalind Kurita’s thin primary victory invalid.The panel voted 33-11 on Saturday to declare Kurita’s 19-vote victory “incurably uncertain” after her opponent, Clarksville attorney Tim Barnes, alleged heavy Republican interference in the Democratic nominating contest.

A joint convention of the Democratic executive committees in Cheatham, Houston and Montgomery counties will now determine who the nominee will be. There is no Republican running in the general election.
