    From the Federal Election Committee:

    "Establishing the date for a Presidential primary, and determining the type of Presidential primary held, varies from state to state. This is due to differences in state statutes, party constitutions, party rules and regulations, party by-laws, and delegate selection plans. In some states, a caucus and/or convention may be held instead of a Presidential primary election. Other states may use a combination of both caucuses and primaries for delegate selection."

    Is it fair for a later State? You'd have to take that up with the local state government . . . they make the rules.

    • It appears that florida and Michigan could answer this easily. They really messed up. Democrats aren't that smart anyway.
