Mississippi Bill for an Earlier Primary in Presidential Years Makes Headway

On January 29, the Mississippi House Apportionment & Elections Committee passed HB 933. It moves the primary for president and all other office, in presidential years, from the second Tuesday in March, to the first Tuesday in March. For 2016, that would mean a primary date of March 1, the earliest date that any state is permitted to hold a presidential primary (except for New Hampshire and South Carolina). Thanks to Josh Putnam for this news.
