Sorry to be so repetitive but I'm convinced that the only way democracy can exist in the U.S. is to abolish both gerrymandering AND the Electoral College. I've also been thinking that the piecemeal way primaries (and caucuses) are scheduled may incorrectly sway who gets the nomination. What I mean is that someone comes out as a frontrunner in the first or second state, which states may or may not reflect the country as a whole, gets a big advantage going forward.
I think we'd be better off if all the states held their primaries/caucuses on or very near the same day and we'd get a much more accurate view of who has the better chance of winning against the GOP.

Would like to see a "National Primary Election Day", especially in Congressional/Presidential election years. This chaos of different dates and different formats does nothing but confuse the voters. And... I do believe many people change their votes in later primaries, based on results of the early primaries.

In later primaries, some voters have to switch because their candidate might not still be in the running. There's no reason we can't have a single, national primary day.
