A group in Oregon has filed paperwork with the Secretary of State, to begin the process of qualifying an initiative to move all partisan primaries from May to March. The stated purpose is to give the state more influence in choosing the major party presidential nominees. But it is odd that the group proposes to move the primaries in midterm years as well as presidential years. Thanks to Tony Roza for this news.
IMO, parties should have some control of when primaries are held, or should have an option to opt out.

They should have total control of how they choose their officeholders if they win, even if they choose would be officeholders before the election in case they win.
SCS, exactly.
