I heard Jason Lewis, who was filling for Rush, say that this would be the last national primary that was run this way, that the next primary would, in all probability be one day, all vote at the same time, election. It gives far too much power to two insignificant states, and frankly the rest of the country is fed up with the way they vote.

It would take a federal law to over-ride every state’s law to make a one date primary election for all states. There would be an uproar from the states. Perhaps the Rush guy doesn’t exactly understand how it works and he may be doing wishful thinking.

TN starts early voting on Jan 16 and much as I love the conveniencw of early voting, I think a one day election would work better...

Also absentee ballots need to be curbed....

The military and bonified businessman away that day etc could send in absentee ballots, but there is too much opportunity for fraud through the mail...

Also the internet is not a secure way to control fraudulent votes....

Let’s go back to using the precinct polling places that are set up each year...Americans are getting lazy...If you want to vote, get down to your local precinct and vote...

If the voter has to present himself or herself with proper photo ID, there should be less fraud and the illegal aliens and others are not going to even try to cheat the American public...

And axe the “exit polls” and the reporting of the results before California polls close...Callifornia hears the so called “results” and want to vote for a “winner”

Actually if the times were shuffled some, the polls would all close at the same time...
