    Trumplodyte gets removed from a ballot he goes to court and cries to get put back on. Biden voluntarily drops himself off of New Hampshire’s ballot and wins anyway. Take that you orange orangutan.

        New Hampshire having a state law that they always get to go first, for a national election, that’s been around for 100 years, is dumb as fuck.

        It’s good this change is happening. The primary orders should shuffle around more often. No state declaring “we’re always first” within their state laws should be recognized at the federal level.

          Here’s a crazy idea. Every state has their primary on the same day so that no state gets to dictate who others get to vote for.

          Here’s an even crazier idea. Ditch primaries altogether and use Ranked Choice Voting.

          I’m sick and tired of other people deciding which lesser evils I’m allowed to choose between long before my turn to vote even comes around.

            They should let the most populated states go first. I’m tired of having our votes count for nothing because half the candidates have already dropped out by the time they get to us, even though we outnumber the people in all the states that go before us. Those early wins and losses would really mean something if they represented a large and diverse population. Might make up a little for how underrepresented we are in the Electoral College.

            I’m a fan of random order, all within 5 weeks. With polls being open over the entire week.

            Helps get more voices in the say. With every state having turns seeing higher candidate engagement that only Iowa gets now. And candidates not feeling pressured to drop out right away because Iowa didn’t like them.
