New Mexico Bill to Move Primary from June to March Loses in Committee

On Saturday, March 7, the New Mexico House Government, Elections and Indian Affairs Committee defeated HB 346 on a tie vote. See this story. The bill would have moved the primary for president and all other office from June to March.

The bill would have provided much earlier petition deadlines for minor party and independent candidate petitions, because New Mexico ties the petition deadlines to the date of the primary. Thanks to Josh Putnam for the link.

  1. What SANE regimes have ANY elections in the winter – early spring ???

    Abolish the time bomb Electoral College.
    1st Timebomb went off in 1860.
    Result – about 750,000 DEAD Americans on both sides in 1861-1865 — due to the DEVIL gerrymander robot party hacks on both sides — i.e. the 1860 gerrymanders in all then States.

    P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.
