I think a better primary system would be 5 ten state primary dates with states from each region chosen on a rotating lottery system.

On each date you would get 2 western, 2 eastern, 2 northern, 2 southern, and 2 central states.

I’m from CA, but would be perfectly fine with having primaries in FL,GA,OH,MO,CO,and AZ decide the whole thing. They would provide a good mix. IA and NH are not indicative of anything nation-wide.

The more I think of your idea, the more I really like it!! The current system truly disenfranchises millions of voters (at least in the nominating process) and it seems this would give those millions a voice when it matters, and that would be a wonderful departure from the status quo.
