It’s not the GOP, the States of Iowa and New Hampshire have laws on the books that each party must hold their caucus (IA)/primary (NH) before any other State’s caucus or Primary.
Again, not a GOP issue, but an issue that these States require.
Good grief...sounds like Iowa and NH need to revise their laws. So what will these states do now? What happens with the military ballots now. Aren’t they close to being printed?
I’ve never understood why those laws were honored. Those states are effectively reaching beyond their own jurisdictions. What would happen if other states passed laws that their primaries must be held before those of IA and NH?

I did not know that. Do you know if that law has ever been tested?

Kinda along the lines of ‘states rights’.....
Not true... The RNC discriminates in favor of New Hampshire and Iowa (and a couple other states) in requiring that they go first. Florida Republicans are technically violating the RNC’s rules, and will lose 50% of their delegates because of it. On the flip side, they gain more clout and attention during the primaries because they decide earlier.
