Utah’s Republican governor is arguing for scrapping the current presidential primary schedule
“People will be focused laser-like on the elections over a four- or five-month period of time,” he added, and though different candidates might discover different regional strengths and weaknesses, “every state would have an opportunity over that four-month period of time to weigh in and have their votes really count.”
But the governor pointed to the already-shifting calendar, with California moving its primary up several months as of this year “because they’re tired of being left out.” Similar frustration, he argued, could lead to a slippery slope of states continuously pushing their elections up in the calendar. “Everybody fights to be first,” he complained, contending that by the time the first four states have voted, “the elections are pretty well all decided — we know who the frontrunners are and everybody else falls by the wayside — and most of the states haven't even have a chance to weigh in on them.”
He conceded that his offer may not be perfect, “but it’d certainly be better than what we have now which is just chaos.”
