“Whatever the rule is, it should be uniform across the country. There should be the same rules for all, same voice for all party members in all states...”
Yeah - who cares about the Constitution!
Article II, Section 1
excerpt on the election of the President:
“Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress...”
I certainly agree with what you say for “elections”.
But for what we call “primaries” it is something else all together.
The republican party and the democrat party are private organizations
and they run their clubs by their own rules.
...what dates each state will hold their primary...
...will it be winner take all or proportional...
...how many delegates awarded to each state...
...how many delegates does the national committee get...
It is all a big scam on both sides of the aisle.
