    Primaries are held by the states, before the Convention. It’s… kind of the whole point?

      The point is to give voters a change (EDIT Er, a chance, not change lol) to express their preferences before the Convention. The primaries aren’t legally binding, they’re just a fancy opinion poll.

      A mail-in ballot fulfills the same function.

          I’m advocating for replacing Biden by any means necessary. I think a condensed super-primary would be the best way to do it, but I’m not opposed to him being replaced at the Convention either.
