Asked how Townsend's candidacy would affect his party's primary. Republican County Chairman Opal Lord said. "There is always the possibility of crossover when you have a local person running, but it's never been a big factor here. There are a certain number of people who will turn out when there is a local candidate. If there is any crossover.

I think you'll see that in the fall." Voter registration in Blackford County is up 12 percent over the 1980 primary. Some 8.234 voters are registered compared to 7.281 4 years ago.

1983. the new judge Jack Weinstein ordered the case certified as a class action and ordered plaintiffs attorneys to notify persons potentially affected by the case. The purpose of the notice was to give veterans an opportunity to "opt out" of the case. Local veterans received the letter to "opt out." If they signed it and sent it back, then they relinquished their rights to ever sue for compensation. If they did nothing, they were automatically considered part of the class action.
