It’s not the sort of thing the law usually deals in to this extent, but I wouldn’t mind if there was a law saying the parties could change the rules/functioning of their primaries and conventions, etc. only every twenty years. Say, for an election in a year ending in 0, you can set new rules that are in force for that and the four following elections. Both parties just love too much to look at the ways things didn’t go the way their establishment wanted the last time, and change the rules to make it more likely they get their way this time. Dems do it, GOP does it, it’s fucked up.
