The primary process distorts support and when that amount of money is involved, corruption follows. Put a limit on corporate dollars and let the private citizen donate more. Provide a limit in funds and let the chips fall where they may.
This would mean every candidate would have to campaign in EVERY state, not just the ones to get the numbers.
What makes sense is a Primary Day. Where all the states vote their candidate together.
Interesting and I’ve often wondered if that could work? My problem with one day is that the candidates will spend their time in a very few key states and most likely many states will not see them ever set foot within their boundaries. Kinda like the Presidential campaign where they write off certain states, take some for granted and select a few competitive ones and that’s where most of the time and money are spent.
I have even thought about a regional concept three/four primary days where the states for each of the days are selected from across the country such that you have a few smaller states, some middle size and a large one or two, some from the north, south, east and west in each day. If you did three primary days then you could have 16 states in each date.
