| Description | John Wolfe Jr., a Tennessee attorney running against Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination, said that he would file a federal lawsuit in Baton Rouge on Friday to force the Louisiana Democratic Party to hand over delegates he earned in the March 24 primary election.
Wolfe won more than 15 percent of the vote in three of Louisiana’s seven congressional districts in March—enough to send three delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. in September, according to party rules.
Despite his impressive showing against a Democratic incumbent president in the primary election, party bosses announced in April that all delegates would be given to Obama. |
