36. We shouldn't be voting for people in the primary in a way different from
how the general election is conducted. It's a sure-fire way to lose the general election.

If we said, OK, only people who drive Green SUVs can easily vote in the primary, we're going to get the favorite candidate of the people who drive Green SUVs. We need to get the candidate who's the favorite of the kinds of people who are willing to show up at the polls and vote, which includes a lot of people who aren't going to be proportionally represented if MI uses internet voting for the primary.
