Last month, the Democratic Party tentatively approved a rules change, to let one or two states hold a presidential caucus before the New Hampshire primary. Under current Democratic Party rules, only Iowa is permitted to hold a nominating event before New Hampshire. Eight states have applied for permission to hold an early caucus: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada and South Carolina.
Michigan Democrats say that if the national party doesn’t choose them for one of the early caucus slots, that they (in combination with the Michigan Republican Party) will pass a bill in the Michigan legislature, providing for a February 5 presidential primary in that state, whether it is approved by the national party or not.
If I had to pick two states out of this group I think I would go with Michigan and Nevada
Why not all 50 states, the district, and the territories on the same day?
I know people want it spread out to get it down to 2 candidates, but it’s better IMO to have it on one day so media cannot spin results to their heart’s content. Sure, there would be some horse trading afterward, but that happens anyway.
if you had it all in one day the early frontrunner would always win. That would kill darkhouse candidates that no one thinks has a chance but then wins.
Darkhorse not darkhouse
