For what it’s worth, Super Tuesday is actually up to 24 states this year, beagle.

JMD82, other states have tried that, and every time they move their primaries up, NH also did. That’s why this all happens in January and February now. When I turned 21 and could vote, the primaries started in like April.

New Hampshire only went first because it moved its primary after Florida and Michigan moved theirs. I can see why Florida and Michigan voters would be frustrated, but you can also see that if there weren’t some sort of sanctions we would eventually be voting in the next primary as soon as the current one was over. Tons of states moved their primaries up to super Tuesday this year and didn’t get sanctioned for that.
