No more caucuses

Also, no more Winner Take All in the primaries. Let’s have one person, one vote, and apportion the delegates based on the votes. The concept of winning states instead of votes is diluting the power of the vote in the national elections ... let’s not do the same in the primaries

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Texas used to allocate two-thirds of the delegates on the basis of the primary and one-third on a caucus held the night of the primary. It was a mess.
