State legislators in 2011 are likely to consider bills in some states to move, or in some cases, to abolish presidential primaries. Florida law currently requires a January presidential primary, but the two major parties don’t recognize the results. See this story that tries to predict whether the legislature will move it to a later date or not.
In Washington, Governor Christine Gregoire has proposed abolishing the presidential primary, to save $10,000,000. In California, where the law requires a February presidential primary and a June primary for congress and state office, the legislature is likely to merge the two primaries to save money.
