Fixing the primaries

Dem party chairman draws..on camera in June of the year prior to the election year..This sets the order.. Primaries are one a month starting in January of the election year...all over by May.. So much easier to navigate..North-South in each..rural-urban in each..Big cities-small towns in each..

It would give a much more balanced result and give everyone a fair chance with demographics

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

The regional Primary model limits access to political unknowns (Yang/Buttigieg) who might strike a chord with the voters, in favor of established names (Biden/Sanders) and self-funders (Bloomberg). As unreflective as Iowa and NH are, they're small enough to support face to face retail campaigning.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
