On the other hand, putting a lot more weight on delegate allocation to states which actually deliver for the GOP will cause those states to consider no only how they select delegates, but how they allocate electoral votes, probably in a way which would maximize their potential for more delegates.
Under the current system, states which almost never vote GOP (New York, California) have an outsized influence in the selection of the nominee.
Your response to my comment was;
“Under the current system, states which almost never vote GOP (New York, California) have an outsized influence in the selection of the nominee.”
My comment simply outlined the problem and offered no solutions .I anticipated most of the commentary on this thorny issue would be all over the place because most don’t know how delegates are selected and some don’t even know what they do.
You are right on with the weighted vote given states which rarely carry a Republican presidential candidate. The problem that this method tries to address is having states with populations the size of cities in those states selecting the candidate rather than the rest of the country having its say.
But the point is that weighted delegate vote is not the only problem.
