How would the votes be counted in such a national primary? Electoral College-wise or national popular-wise? I'd prefer the former.

I'd like to see a two-tiered process where an earlier primary narrows the field rather early, thus eliminating the nuisance ticks.

The election of delegates would not change. They would still be pledged to a particular candidate for as long as the law of that state specified. They would be residents of each state, elected in each state, with no carryover from state to state.]

The only way that delegates would go to the Convention as "uncommitted" is if that particular state permitted that option, and the voters of that state chose all or some of such delegates.
