I know states get to pick their own primary days, but other than having bragging rights to get special attention, what is the real purpose of this?
Why doesn't the nation just hold a single primary election on a single day, JUST LIKE THE REGULAR ELECTION?
It's all so nauseating!
I mean, by the same logic, shouldn't states have the option of choosing different days for the national race? (This way, states could decide whether they wanted to have their presidential election results early, or be late and potentially decide the election OR be meaningless. So a state like California would have the option of voting BEFORE a state like New York. And it wouldn't be so much "poll closing time" but what date the state chooses to vote on.)
Of course, that is lunacy.... just like the multiple primary election days are!
The primary election calendar seems like a ridiculously nonsensical process that just feeds arrogance and petty jealousies.
What do you think?
