Dude, you Virginians can’t keep up with your own state-level political elites’ shennanigans; scattering their primaries throughout the year to rig the results. Why should people from the other 50 states try to?

Here is a reason for you people in Virginia should demand a single unified primary date; having to have them scattered out is “expensive and reduces turnout to run elections piecemeal”.

Oh yeah, you said that.

Clearly, you don’t know how to read. And I don’t have time to teach you.

Re-read my post.

In a non-redistricting year, there would be only one primary. This year isn’t that. Per the Voting Rights Act, our redistricting plans must be approved by DOJ. Redistricting doesn’t affect presidential primaries - it does effect other primaries.

Get over yourself already. Do you even live in Virginia? Do you even have a clue?
