Oh thank fuck.
I thought Biden was too old and too right-wing in 2020.
The only problems that I see with an open convention are candidate name recognition for those who pay no attention and the fact that GOP states have already been trying fuckery with the ballots.
You know the state ballot argument is a risk I hadn't considered. I honestly don't know enough to say how they could impact but it's worth further consideration.
I think there would be a media frenzy if you saw a headline like, "BREAKING NEWS: PRESIDENT BIDEN RESIGNS; ENDORSES GRETCHEN WHITMER." After which there would be viral social media and millions googling, "who is Whitmer?" Hopefully the conclusion they have is, "well she's a fresh face and she's younger than the other guy."
I agree with you there. The ballots and irrational voters are still my greatest concern. There were attempts to block Biden from the ballot in swing states because of the DNC convention being later than the state deadline. Look to any avenue open to electoral fraud being taken advantage of.
