The proper way to hold a County Convention. Slates are WRONG whether ours or theirs. The intent of the system was to cleanse and replenish the ideals of the County Party through discussion and even arguments put forth by the individual precincts. Multiply this effort times 83 counties and it naturally would have the same desired effect on the state party leadership. There should be a vote on a convention chair. (Law) There should be a call to the floor to have those duly elected delegates that show interest in representing the county to the state convention to step forward and be counted. There should be 2 minute speaking times for all candidates so the floor can at least form SOME sort of opinion on the positions they are about to vote for. The local elected precinct delegates need to “pitch” their reason they desire to represent the county. The sitting precinct delegates under responsibility to their precincts need to be allowed to question the candidates on any host of issues in order to decipher their values. The Candidates need to be voted for from the floor individually. (yes this could be time consuming) This is the process for a representative delegation on individual merit. Not the guage of party loyalty, dedicated service, or by time invested in the party. Those traits are left to the ceremonial nonsense of club membership. The County and State Conventions are to be about the people instilling their views, their ideals, their will upon the political policy vehicle. The process is correct if understood and implemented properly and fairly.
