Unless I missed some things in earlier articles (I read them all but very fast and on my phone) I appreciated this article getting more into the mechanics of an Article V convention. I did follow the link you provided to Indiana’s rules for their delegates and alternates. Does each state write their own rules? I believe that must be correct in the spirit of the Article V Convention. How are we assured that the uniparty doesn’t get their fingers in some state’s delegations? And how is it decided on a national level when and where a convention would take place? I’m looking ahead in faith here, understanding that we don’t have it all set yet. But, I’m curious about that part of the process.

The relationship between states and their delegates is that of client to an attorney. The attorney is lawfully bound to obey his client, and put the client’s interests ahead of his own.

While I’ve lost the link, I know that my state of FL has a statute similar to Indiana. States will not send schlubs off the street to serve as their agents.

Anyone who trusts their presidential electors every four years should have the same level of trust in their delegates to a state convention.
