One thing omitted from the article is that the McGovern rules had hard quotas on race and sex (e.g. women =50% or greater of delegates). This gave radicals like McGovern a head start on getting delegate support at the convention, and made it harder for older constituencies (e.g. southern whites) to get their constituencies the same level of influence.
