The present system for selecting candidates for president of the United States is a farce. Many voters know little about the candidates and the parties, and therefore rely on others rather than researching the information themselves. With numerous primary and/or caucuses spread over several weeks, many of these uninformed voters merely follow the lead of others. Therefore, change is needed to assure the candidate and/or party receive equality in the voting process. The following procedure should be established:
-
The second Tuesday of February shall open registration to potential candidates with the federal elections commission. Registration shall close the second Tuesday of April.
-
Registered candidates start campaigning, through primary and/or caucuses, starting the second Tuesday of April and through the Fourth of July.
-
On the second Tuesday of July, all states shall vote for each party’s candidate to run in the general election.
