Yes, regional primaries...I’ve said that for years. Take the emphasis off certain states. Give some of the rest of the country a chance to be counted. Rotating the regional vote should be part of the new and improved primary structure.

I also want proportional votes in each state. No winner takes all. In Oregon the Dems get all of the vote...but, it is frequently close. Maybe 51 to 48%...the Republican candidate gets nothing, but almost half the votes are for them and don’t count.

I’m disenfranchised!

they turned 2022 into a pink trickle because the dumb and fumbling turned out and voted for them.

This is what the Democrats are doing: Turnout PAC

Postcards to Swing States started in a volunteer’s garage. In just three years, our volunteers in all 50 states, D.C. and U.S. territories sent 43 million handwritten messages to voters, more than any other organization.

In 2022, our postcard and Neighborhood Letters programs had an enormous impact on the midterm elections. We continued to innovate and used data to make our volunteers’ efforts more effective. Our postcard experiment with research partners ASO Communications and The Movement Cooperative boosted turnout and won an award from the Analyst Institute. In addition, the Innovation/Under-Tested Research Fund selected our Neighborhood Letters program for a grant.

Let’s see....there were 2 heavy snowfalls the preceding week, the second one 2 days before the caucus that was a blizzard...20 plus inches of snow blowing around with a majority of rural roads still CLOSED on caucus Monday. It was 20 degrees below zero. You must be there in person with ID by 7 pm. Doors close and lock at 7 pm. You then sit through maybe an hour of people standing up to give speeches supporting their candidate and then you vote on a paper ballot that is then counted. You sit and wait for the count to be done...it is checked to make sure it matches the total number of ballots handed out . The state GOP has nothing to do with it, it is all handled by county GOP grass roots. There were a hell of a lot of people on country roads who had no way to get there if they wanted to. The Dems? They mailed theirs in. And then said the results will be made public in MARCH.

Look, it may be true DJT needs to get “new voters”...but it is also true that Biden didn’t have 81M legal votes in 2020 *and* of the legal votes Biden got then, he has certainly lost many, too.

Just saying.

If God wants them to Vote then it will happen and if he doesn’t they will not..Could be God has been humbling Trump as God has used non-believers\weak Believers for his own purposes.

Where the hell were you? Johnson County? My caucus had over 70% Trump support. Those new faces were probably Dems crossing over to support Haley

Um, it was 20 below in Iowa on caucus day after a week of heavy snow. Gee, that might explain the low turnout.

-40F windchill might have had a little something to do with low turnout.

I’m in the western suburbs of DM. Several precincts around here went for DeSantis or Haley, from the financial services employees and Reynolds loyalists. But just texting around as the voting was taking place, it was clear Trump was going to cruise in the overall area.
