I live in the south and we don't have a voice in the primaries, because the other states pick and choose who they want and when we get a chance to vote, it's just who ever is left on the ticket, because most of them have dropped out of the race.
I know in several primaries i have decided on who i want to vote for, but when it's our turn, that person is no longer on the ballot.
my deal is if the primaries are right, than why don't they do the general elections the same way. I think it's just part of an old system, before modern communications were available and they needed to do it that way, in order for the candidates to reach all the people

The US Constitution allows each state to write its own election laws. No one has the authority to set a single date for all Primaries.

Contact your senator and representative and complain to them; they are the only ones who can fix the problem.
