California’s 2020 shadow sparks New Hampshire fears

California’s newly instituted March 3 primary date is rattling the early presidential state map, as Democratic state and party officials grapple with the shadow cast by the nation’s most populous state. The idea that millions of absentee and mail-in votes could be cast in advance of California’s actual primary election day — and the prospect that presidential candidates might bypass the early states entirely to concentrate on target-rich California — is finally beginning to sink in.

New Hampshire needs to keep its cottage industry of sucking in campaign time and money every POTUS election cycle going. CA moved its primary to March 3 as part of Super Tuesday. But due to the prevalence of mail in and absentee ballots in CA, large number of residents of CA might be voting when NH hits to polls. This might shift tens of millions of $ from NH into CA.

Early voting needs to stop. Open polling for one 24-hour period and offer absentee ballots where needed, e.g., military.

The article says that New Hampshire might consider moving their 2020 primary date up to December of 2019. Looks like this might start an exciting game of leapfrog.

CA will determine the most liberal of a large field of all-liberal candidates.

National primaries should be closed, all on the same day, and all sealed until all polling locations finish.

Same for national elections, except for the “closed” part.

And both should require local residency with a nationally recognized ID proving it.

But none of the above will help leftists stay in power, so, aint gonna happen.

We should also require owning property, but hey, who am I.

I’ve thought for a long time that Iowa and New Hampshire have an inordinate amount of influence on presidential elections.

California deserves independence from the US

And the remaining 49 states deserve that too.

My dispatch from deep behind enemy lines here in California:
Lib geniuses who want to abolish the Electoral College, are you sure that’s what you want? Your quarrel with the primary is what the country look like: California will rule the country and you will become irrelevant. Are you sure that’s what you want?

And not just the Democrat primary, but the Republican primary too.

It changes the dynamics of the primary season profoundly.

Name recognition and money even more prominent.

The little guy stands no chance.

Because of an inability to verify the legal status of voters as citizens, California electoral votes should be null and void.

The counting of California's electoral votes negates the entire populations of Alaska, Idaho, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, north Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Missouri and the independent district of Maine.

I hope the dangerous prospect of ballot harvesting and how that can damage an election is also sinking in.

2018 for the RATS was just a dress rehearsal for 2020 which is going to be a real disaster if something isn't done about the various types of voter fraud.

Eliminating early voting would be racist...or something.

NONE of that affects the ballgame/big mo/who's leading that attaches to NH. Korecki is a Chiraq progressive who doesn't like Biden and would like to see him waste time and money in Kali. Natasha also re-tweeted this earlier this month:

You all need to get real smart about this real quick.

If Biden is the nominee, we win. I mean, we win BIG.

I'm not the only one who knows this. It's a shared belief among the other side. People like this Politico gypsy...

What Biden should be asking is whether the party wants him, and not just whether he should seize his last chance.” https://t.co/1QH3VJBhqh great piece by @politicocharlie— Natasha Korecki (@natashakorecki) April 16, 2018
