Convention 1920

Big states have been selected by both parties.

@Willthescout7 Charles Seymour Whitman of New York and @ShortKing Fred D Gardner of Missouri are to determine classes for delegates at their respective conventions.

Quote

Category One: The number of convention/primary delegates from that state will be set equal to their number of electoral votes. 

Category Two:  Number of delegates will be 2x their electoral votes

Category Three:  Number of delegates will be 3x their electoral votes

Category Four: Number of delegates will be 4x their electoral votes

Category Five:  Number of delegates will be 3x their electoral votes for states unless: 1) States have a party pref bias of +2 or higher for the party, then they get 4x their EVs. And 2)  States have a party pref bias for the other party, then they get delegated equal to x2 their EVs.

GA - Hugh Dorsey - 1 Gov 

LA - Ruffian Pleasant - 1 Gov

MS - Theodore Bilbo - 2 Gov

MO - Fred Gardner - 2 Gov

OK - Robert Williams - 1 Gov

WY - Frank Houx - 1 Gov

All these guys wanna try a major irrigation project

Gardner and Williams succeed. No increase to economic stability. Fails to increase the agriculture industry.

  • +100 to Lars (IA Gov)
  • +300 Will (KS Gov, IA Sen 1, KS Sen 2)
  • +100 OrangeP (IA Sen 2)
  • +100 to 0ccult (KS Sen 1)

CT: Marcus Holcomb (2 gov, economics) will attempt to lower taxes.

IA: William L Harding (1 gov) will attempt Major Irrigation Project

IL: Frank Lowden (3 gov, efficient) will make Detroit great again: Improve manufacturing TWICE.

OR: Out of pure spite, retiring gov Withycombe will attempt to ratify the "Titles of Nobility Amendment". This is not in the game, I admit, but historically, the quest for ratification has never ended. If our great overlords deny this, I'll just attempt to improve manufacturing.

PA: Martin Brumbaugh (3 gov) will also attempt to improve manufacturing.
