Good idea, but... (none / 0) (#163)

... let's require all votes to be by mail-in with ballots to be mailed to and counted by the party, not the states.

Other suggestions:

Ballots only accepted if post-marked between, say, February 1st and 29th.

Any candidate who raises any funds for his/her campaign before November 1st of the previous year or who buys any campaign ad (of any type, print or broadcast) before January 15th loses half his/her votes, no exceptions.

I like your idea. Simple and effective, and the candidates can choose among several different strategies: big state/expensive ads, small state/ cheaper ads, or a combination of the two.

The nominee is known by March 1, no need for a convention - other than free publicity - and Bob's your uncle.
