On June 22 the national Democratic Party’s Rules Committee voted to authorize one or two presidential primaries or caucuses before the New Hampshire presidential primary. The Committee will decide on July 22 or July 23 which state or states will be allowed to go earlier. The July meeting will also set dates for these states.
The state legisature will then be voting soon to stay “first in the nation”. Look for the first primary to be in New Hampshire in December, 2007!
