I think there is a legitimate question as to why the first several elections in the nomination process are never rotated around. You would think the parties would also require the first few states to hold elections in the nomination process actually regularly vote for their party in recent general elections.

I think states pretty much have all the authority when it comes to scheduling their elections. New Hampshire could probably schedule its 2024 primary in January 2023 if it wants to.

I agree with you on this.

The parties could easily solve the problem just by making a formula to award extra delegates to states which wait until later. It ain't rocket science.

There is already a delegate allocation formula to favor states which support the party's nominee consistently.
