On February 16, the Indiana State Senate Elections Committee passed SCR28, asking the Legislative Council to do a 2-year study of whether Indiana should move its presidential primary from May to an earlier month. Indiana’s presidential primary has been in May starting in 1920. In 1916 it had been in March.
It’s amazing that when people suggest the value of runoff elections, state governments scream about the costs of elections. But holding two separate sets of primaries (which are basically gifts to private organizations) doesn’t seem to bother them.
