My Proposal for Democratic Primary Reform

[ElectionsGuy]

A nationwide primary vote on a single day with 15% viability rule and 50% needed to win outright, followed by runoffs with greater thresholds to narrow the field. No delegates, no caucuses. The nomination can be secured in any one of these elections with 50%+1 of the votes. The convention may be sometime after in June/July/August. No more contested conventions, the nominee will be clear and undisputed.

I'm thinking something like this for the schedule:

March 3rd - first election - 15% viability
April 7th - second election - 25% viability
May 5th - third election - top-two
June 2nd - final election

Here's an made-up example:

Biden - 32% --> advance
Sanders - 21% --> advance
Warren - 18% --> advance
Buttigieg - 16% --> advance
Klobuchar - 12% --> does not advance

Biden - 40% --> advance
Sanders - 28% --> advance
Warren - 20%
Buttigieg - 12%

Biden - 56%
Sanders - 44%

Any questions? What are your thoughts? Feel free to share your ideas about how to reform the Democratic primary as well.

Thanks for the replies. I do think RCV would be more efficient, the only issues might be people aren't used to voting that way (would take a lot of thought/planning for your average voter who's new to it), and also how the results could easily be susceptible to conspiracy theories because of how the reallocation goes (unless there's 100% transparency behind that, which would be a lot of required information).
