You are welcome. I'm glad you listened to it - it's over an hour long. It was the first I heard of how an open convention works. Since then, ballot issues have come up. They will be figured out.

An open convention will only destroy the Dems chances to win in Nov if they do not unite around the best candidate to beat Trump. They united behind Biden in 2020. They didn't throw Bernie or Pete to the wolves. After Biden won SC which both Pete and Bernie did poorly in, all the candidates dropped out and united behind Biden as the only candidate who can beat Trump. It will be up to the party leadership - Jeffries, Clybourne, AOC, and the Obamas, all POC - to persuade Harris' supporters that the best data shows she is not the best candidate to beat Trump - IF that's what it shows - and that she's not being thrown to the wolves - she lost. There is so much at stake, I think it can be done.
