"Fixing it" would require a constitutional amendment giving the Feds some power over how and when elections are held.
Instant Runoff elections would entirely eliminate the need for primaries. Unfortunately, the Pres election system would still be complicated because each state would be adopting it individually.

No, it wouldn't. The parties can do it themselves.
I am talking about the Prez primaries. I have no problem with other primaries, except in Louisiana.
