(6,399 posts)Doing that for all fifty at one time, yes, the logistics of the actual vote itself is fine.
The lead up to it? The logistics are simply impossible and would disenfranchise a significant number of people. And we're not talking about a single election. We're talking about time for candidates to get around the country, fundraise to do it, interact with local concerns, build connections to local politicians, etc.
This is stuff that has to be done gradually - partially to show that they're ABLE to build this coalitions.
I completely respect you as a poster and have enjoyed the sharpness of many of your posts. But in this area it's something that I think you're looking at very narrowly and not what's really involved. It's like saying a country should be run as a business in saying that the primary season should be run like a single national election.
