Who do you think is going to appoint the representation?
The RNC. The GOPelites. They will threaten states to elect their selectees. States cannot even determine when they want their presidential primaries without approvial of the RNC. Do you think for 1 minute that the party elites won’t have influence over such an event as a Constitutional Convention?
It is pollyannaish to think otherwise.
The legislature appoint reps. The State govt in VA is VERY conservative.
