As mentioned last month, Arizona Representative Phil Lovas (R-Peoria) has introduced HB 2015, to move Arizona’s February presidential primary to the day the major parties hold presidential caucuses in Iowa. The bill also says that should some other state move its presidential primary to a date earlier than the Iowa caucus, then the Arizona presidential primary would also go ahead of the Iowa caucus, and would match that other state’s date. This news story appears to say the bill will be heard in committee next week.
In 2012, the Iowa major party caucuses were on January 3.
I saw Doug in our local Starbucks the other day. He didn’t seem to be drinking anything stronger than an Americano, but one wonders what he was thinking when he had this idea. . .
I apologize. The first draft of this blog got the sponsor of this bill mixed up with the sponsor of the bill to eliminate presidential elector candidates from the ballot. I have corrected the post.
How about daily primaries — starting the day after each minority rule gerrymander election for Prez/VP ???
The HACKS in the States have nothing better to do than play their nonstop rigging of Prez nominations and elections ???
