RCV ???

ANY connection with NH delegates to 2020 LP Natl Conv ???
Same ??? for all minor parties having any public/private primaries.
We’ll be using Bucklin.
I would have to vote for Vermin Supreme.
Good question, Demo Rep. What voting method will they use?
Darryl Perry’s comment above answers that question.
Adam Kokesh is not playing?
How is the NHLP actually running their own primary? Do they have voting locations? Are they accepting mil-in or on-line votes?
Darryl, does this primary actually assigned NH delegates based on percentages, or is it merely for show like Missouri and some other states?
I believe the party’s bylaws forbid delegates from being bound by primaries.

Condorcet – RCV and Bucklin done correctly.
Primary will use mail-in ballots which will be sent to delegate-eligible members later this week. Results will be announced at State convention in January.
IMO, if you have a non-bonding preferential primary, the best method would be range voting. Then the delegates would have a lot of information about how every voter judged all the candidates
Adam Kokesh is not playing? – WALTER ZIOBRO
Nor Jacob Hornberger?
NO “NOTA”?
I have to assume that this will be an option on the actual ballot, nonetheless (get it” “… NONE the less … ” ?)
It is not showing here, because no one named “ABOVE, None O.T.” actually filed in time.
NOTA will be in the ballot. The list of candidates are those who filed. NOTA is not required to file to be on the ballot.
How does NOTA work with Bucklin voting? If there are 10 candidates, and I rank NOTA 5th, does that actually mean NOTB: None of those below 5?
The Bucklin Method Ballot will be used. Delegates will choose their first and second choices, and use Approval Voting for subsequent candidates.
NOTA will be counted as any other candidate. I guess it could also be listed at NOTC (none of these candidates) but people are familiar with the acronym NOTA.
