New Plan for Political Primaries

New Plan for Political Primaries: Executive Summary

The current political primary system is broken. Good candidates drop out too soon. Smaller states are dictating candidates, over the desires of larger and more populous states. The nation is NOT getting the best candidates for November elections. For the good of the nation and its citizens, this must be changed.

I have a plan to fix this system. The plan you see before you is one I have been working on for many years. The plan has evolved and has been refined until it has reached the point where I am satisfied that is suitable to present it to the general public.

In brief, the plan works as follows: There will be THREE TIERS of elections during the primary season, and only TWO POINTS at which candidates may drop out. This will result in the greatest number of citizens voting in the primaries, and will result in the best candidates being selected for the general election in November.

In the next several blogs I will discuss the details of the problem, and more importantly, I will present and explain the plan which will provide the solutions.
