specifically, a system of super-majority, weighted voting Oh, my. It sounds like Democrat Party Nominating Convention rules. Let the Delegates vote, and then the over-weighted super delegates get to decide what they REALLY want.
What's wrong with a simple one-state-one-vote rule, besides that the elites can't take it over?

They also would have rendered the convention unworkable by granting a veto at every stage to a minority unsympathetic with the convention’s goal. What's with this obsession with minority voting rights? This isn't a Senate that they're creating.
Given that 34 states had to agree to even call the Convention, why not start with the assumption that the majority already want similar things, instead of giving their detractors the weapons from the outset to block them? Let them use debate and the power of persuasion to change things.
