All I know is that my vote in Minnesota is irrelevant - always has been. By the time I vote, it is all decided in everything but form. That is why it is hard for me to get excited about voting - I never have a meaningful choice, especially when it comes to wanting to vote for a candidate that is low in the polls early on and has to drop out due to lack of funds. I never get to vote for that individual, and if New Hampshire and Iowa don’t like him, they basically kick him or her out before I have a chance.
I think there should be a primary day. I think people would be surprised at the number of people in the rest of the country that would vote for those low polling candidates. It would also energize them by showing that their vote really does matter.
Until then, it is like watching another country choose my president.
That’s a good reasons to just hold all the primary’s on the same day.
The Republican party could do that by refusing to count any vote that is not cast on that day.
