Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Hey, what happened?
I have followed the presidential primary races with great interest–all academic, as it turns out.
That’s because the Republican and Democratic nominees have already been chosen by a small minority of Americans, those whose primaries just happened to come first on the schedule.
I had no opportunity to participate in this process, nor did the majority of American citizens.
Might it have turned out differently if a different set of states had come first, or (in this supposedly electronic age) we all had a chance to choose on the same day? I guess we’ll never know.
An odd system . . .
