The Bernie–Hillary Unity Commission Is About To Vote On Changing Superdelegates, Caucuses, And More. Here Are The Details.
A year and a half ago, Sanders and Clinton forces formed a commission to make the Democratic primary more fair.

"If there's a will there's an A" ... as Jack Tripper once pitched. If it were given exclusive and top priority, the logistics could be overcome.
A complete and transparent leveling of the playing field is what the party, system, and country needed at this juncture; however, they've played politics with it simply by virtue of not attacking the root, thus tainting any outcome as half-hearted measures.
