There were two fundamental problems with the Minneapolis city convention yesterday. First, you had a lot of technical and procedural issues that led to the convention doing essentially no business for the first eleven hours and fifteen minutes, except one confusing ballot.

You had a couple hundred people - we don’t know how many, because nothing was being counted - who just took over the endorsement process for a bunch of races, in 30 minutes, and jammed them through at 9:15 PM on a Saturday. Hard to imagine a process that feels less democratic.
