What Washington State Republicans are planning

State Republicans must change structure: "Change begins by nominating Republican candidates through conventions, with only one nominee per office going on to the primary. Candidates should love this because it allows their focus to center on Democrat opposition months before the late primary permits. Meanwhile, the grass roots will be energized because candidates will be more respectful to the platform. This step alone will tie the score and cause a surge of volunteers into the party because caucus attendance suddenly has meaning.

The second change follows the first. To make participation all the more meaningful, party officers should be elected through caucus and conventions as well. This means precinct committee officers will not be elected in the primary, by people who discerned the election a week before, but rather at the caucus. County leaders will be elected at county conventions and state leaders at the state convention."
