We agree that the political primary system has major flaws. The flaws are evident by the fact that candidates drop out too soon and many citizens are denied the chance to vote for good candidates.
I have been studying political elections for over 20 years, and I have been working on the problem of flawed political primaries since 1996. During this time I have been proposing ideas, discussing with colleagues, and getting feedback. The final plan is ready for the general public.
The main points of the Plan are as follows:
1. The nation will be divided into 8 Regions.
2. One state from each region will represent the region in Early Primaries.
3. Only after ALL Early Primaries are completed will a candidate consider dropping out.
4. At this point the second set of primaries takes place. Each of the Largest States gets to vote on candidates. The Big State Primaries should include the states usually in the top 4: California, Texas, New York, and Florida.
5. After the series of Big State Primaries, candidates then have an option to drop out. (The candidates should go through all the Big State Primaries before dropping out, in order to make the most educated decision.)
6. Remaining states will vote until the final candidate from each party is selected.
The end result will allow for the greatest number of candidates to remain as choices for citizens in all regions. From this, the best candidates will be elected during the primary.
Details of the Plan will be in the next blog.
