The Consequences of Party Reform in the 21st Century Sermon by Dr. Terri Fine, UCF Nominating conventions culminate a lengthy process. Formal public goals of conventions include nominating presidential and vice-presidential candidates and adopting party platforms. Sustained media focus enables parties to introduce rising stars, formulate policy initiatives, strengthen party connections, and mobilize members to work on behalf of the party and candidates. Changes in delegate selection rules following the party reforms in the late 1960s reflect emerging tensions about party roles while nominating conventions matter far less in presidential nominations than in the past. This presentation will focus on how these changes have and will affect the 2020 presidential nomination contest and what that means for voters and activists at the grassroots. |
