[Lnc-business] Hubbub email chain length for 134-member LNC

[david.demarest at lp.org]

Your state? LOL. Seriously, the proposed rule is 1 state rep per every 
10 state convention delegates with a minimum of 1 per state. You could 
say that this formula would statistically slightly favor the smaller 
states but in practice smaller states would be overwhelmed by larger 
states. The current system is population proportional with an acceptable 
level of accuracy within the limits of the state delegates formula.

The delegate formula is a combination of relative national memberships 
by state and relative presidential vote totals by state from the most 
recent election. It is not perfect but fairly representative and 
participation based although concerns have been expressed about the 
national membership portion of the formula.
