On June 22, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper signed SB 655, which moves the primary for all office from May, to the first Tuesday after the first Monday in March. In 2020, the primary will be on March 3.
Because the independent candidate petition deadline is 15 days before the primary, this moves that deadline from April to February 16. The old deadline was already too early to be constitutional, and the new deadline is even worse. A lawsuit was already pending against the April deadline, and now the Complaint will need to be amended to challenge the February deadline.
In 1980 a U.S. District Court struck down North Carolina’s old April deadline, in Greaves v North Carolina State Board of Elections. The legislature then moved the deadline to June. But years later, it forgot why it had done that, and moved it to April.

Maybe in 100 years the Presidential primaries will be held simultaneously with the mid-term Congressional elections.
The United Coalition can work under any schedule because our team attracts the 100%.
Because if the bullies in the Green and Libertarian Parties, and the agreements between Cameron Spitzer and Sergio Brin, the work under pure proportional representation (PPR) has been delayed for a short time.
Are you interested in the unity phenomenon of PPR that’s starting to sweep the world?
The United Coalition has been using PPR for more than twenty-three consecutive years and PPR works fine.
Sign up as a dues payer to be a voter on our team and Provincial Senator and play roles on multiple geo-levels, political and business simultaneously, while using parliamentary procedures under PPR, and experience the satisfaction of inter-party collaboration over unilateral scattered shots.

California Peace and Freedom Party chair Kevin Akin has given me his proposal by telephone today and someone on our team may vote for his proposal as fuel to make us go.

Maybe in 2 years the Presidential primaries will be held simultaneously with the Prez elections — to have a mere 4 years of nonstop TV attack ads.
@DR, Third Friday in December.
Prez popular elections in Nov. + 4 years = next Prez popular elections in Nov.
Count the days and zillions of TV/internet attack ads.
