I don't understand that. Why would it hurt to have more time to read the
answers from the candidates?
The current process is that even though some answers are available
early, we still have to wait for a while, and then we must read them all
in one day if we want to have a more interesting townhall where we don't
just ask the same questions again because we didn't have time to read
the answers.
To me it looks like process for the sake of process. Questions are
published, let candidates publish their answers as soon as they can, and
give voters more time to read them at their own pace. Or is there
something I'm missing that would make this a bad idea?
I don't know, but Ankur's answer (quoted above) kind of reminded me of
the French presidential election we just had, where I received the
platforms for the candidates of the first round after the results of the
second round were announced. :)
