great idea- could be the beginning of a regional primary system
The closest that got to it was 1988. Then for some reason each of the states went their own way again.
This might be a good idea, if there still was such a thing as the “Solid South.” Today, there is not a Solid South any longer. Neither Florida, Virginia, and possibly North Carolina can be considered part of a Solid South.
I’m sure Georgia would love that, but South Carolina is an RNC carve out state, along with New Hampshire and Iowa. The Republican party, which has complete legislative dominance, will fight viciously against any such plan.
