  2. Currently such parties are required to file their nominees within one day after the convention (the equivalent of filing by a canvassing board after a primary).

    If no one knows when or where the conventions are to be held, how can anyone know whether the nomination was actually done by any sort of public process?

  3. Yet one more reason to have ONE election day using —

    P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.

    NO primaries, NO caucuses, NO conventions to worry about.
