I have not been able to follow this entire thread, but I will tell you this: we owe it to the party members who elect delegates to represent them at convention to have a voting system in place that is not antiquated, clumsy, and literally drives people to drink on the floor. There was SO much important business we didn't get to. This frustration was expressed constantly by every member of the Wisconsin delegation.
We need to act soon, and make sure everyone knows we're serious and committed.
Thanks!

Which, obviously, has nothing at all to do with outcome. I also agree that, with Presidential nominations last, the body will not simply leave that not done. I will point out that I attended the NAP convention last year. It is smaller, but not on an entirely different scale. Elections, with many candidates, took 10 minutes per ballot or so. The LP needs to adopt a better method of balloting and counting.
I also agree that we have, to our detriment, deemphasized conducting the party's business at our convention. I also acknowledge the difficult spot the CoC is in, and I'm not saying I could do better. I am saying that, if I could start from scratch, with no history or other issues, I'd build the convention around the conduct of business. But we can't start from there, and I'm not sure I know a good way to move us in that direction.
I do not agree that we need longer conventions. We need more efficient conventions, particularly when it comes to elections.
