The Problems

These are the problems solved by this proposal:

> Iowa always first, New Hampshire always next,...

> One state voting by itself at various points on the election calendar.

> Too many states voting on the same day.

> Gaps in the calendar with too few election contests at various points.

> Too many states concentrated in the same region (South or Northeast) voting on the same day.

> Different methods of voting in various states (primaries, caucuses, conventions).

> Democrats and Republicans having different election calendars.

> Differences in how delegates are won (proportional, winner-take-all, by congressional district, etc.) with no rhyme or reason across states or the calendar.

> Different rules across the states for the selection of delegates.
> "Superdelegates" and "unbound delegates."

> The lack of loyalty of delegates to the candidate they are assigned to support.

> The lack of debates in the later stages of the primary process.

> Threats by a candidate to switch to an independent run.
