Or else, go the other way; all states winner take all. I agree all states should be closed primaries. Here in Nevada, we have an open primary which is why we have a Republican caucus for president which, interestingly, Trump won, by about the same percentage Romney won four years ago. Whatever the rule is, it should be uniform across the country. There should be the same rules for all, same voice for all party members in all states; and the delegates bound to the candidate, no switching allowed until the candidate himself releases them. In other words, no funny business where delegates are concerned. Definitely no super-delegates and no favorite sons! It might not be a bad idea to have all the primaries on the same day, or maybe regional primaries, all closer together, so that all states matter. We need big reforms in the matter of primaries so we don’t see this kind of cheating again. And if we get brokered conventions, so be it. At least they will be honest brokered conventions!

“Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress...”
