We need some reform, even if it's just minor and compiles all amendments into a new shiny and compact constitution.

But Purple State has to go, now.

I liked the idea of the ConCon, but all the problems have sort of worked themselves with recent recruiting drives by the major parties

Shut it down. It has proved as a waste of time. Any minor changes can be done through the constitutional amendment process.

We need reform, but I think the Senate is a better avenue for it at this point. The main reason to have a convention is because supposedly they would be faster and more efficient than the Senate, the opposite has happened.

No, the main reason was because reforms could be more far-reaching with a new Convention, but that didn't end up happening.

I won't be voting in the survey (for obvious reasons), but I will say that it is unfortunate that interest drained from the Convention so quickly. It is also a shame that, one easy article away from completing a Constitution the Convention became a ghost town.

I have opened two booths, one for my removal as PO and the other for the conclusion of the Convention. We will have a chance to hear the voices of the delegates one last time.

Well, ok. But either way, the convention isn't very useful. At this point, reform will be more likely to happen through the Senate, not the ConCon.
