A less time consuming process would be to caucus and vote. Allow say 20 minutes for state delegations to caucus. Then the vote would be called with each delegation casting one vote. You could do the whole thing in a half hour.
It would be very similar to the representative nature of the U.S. Senate.
There is just one problem with what you suggest.
Suppose they did take a half hour to have the states caucus and then proceed to a vote. What would they do when the motion didn’t get the 2/3 required to make the change to the platform????
True. But the 'vote' was only for 'show'. The DECISION had already been made. Rules and regulations are merely things that they find ways to work-around so they can retain POWER and WEALTH.
It would be very similar to the representative nature of the U.S. Senate.
If the representative nature of the Senate was not filled with corrupt practices.
“A less time consuming process would be to caucus and vote.”
The way role call votes are taken at a convention is this: If it’s a state convention, the county chair of each county passes out slips for his/her delegates to mark. Then, the chair totals the votes and reports it to the designated person who is recording the vote of all counties.
At a national convention, the state chairman of each state uses the county chairman of each county to collect those votes and the state total is given to the state chairman to report that vote to the person recording all the states’ vote.
This system has been in place for many years and has worked well. The process was ignored by the Republican Party and the Democrat Party because they were going to have it their way no matter what.
