Regional Presidential Primary

The principle is simple: The current state-based primary system is not working.

1. Two small states (Iowa and New Hampshire) the MoJo that tends to attract the money for future primaries. Thus, the first states tend to determine the party nominee.
2. Because the first factor, states jockey to move their state primaries earlier and earlier.
3. Polluting the process further are the Iowa straw polls where a small state gets determine the "big mo" for a candidate that Iowans like, a state that is not demographically respresentative of America.
4. The worst pollution is the media faux news: Discussing the next election candidates only a few days after last election, years before the next. The 2028 presidential election was being discussed in late 2024.
5. This is a lot of wasted time and money. It distracts people from the real issues that affect everyday life: Climate Change.

A new primary process will be on July 4 in nine different regions.

1. Atlantic
2. Trade
3. Gulf
4. Lake
5. New England
6. Northwest
7. Plains
8. Southwest
9. Missippi Valley

Guard rails:

1. Public debate forums will be provided for the seven finalists.
2. The debate will consist of seven questions brainbee'd by citizens in which the candidates in rotation read a two minute answer.
3. There will be no circus antics.
4. Candidates can later critique competitors's answers in one page (1640 characters).
5. When each region has its winner then the on-line general election is held.
6. Voters cannot vote for the winner of their district.
7. If no candidate gets 50% then the top three candidates compete in a run-off.
8. The runoff candidate with the highest percentage, even if under 50%, becomes the election winner.

Two important things to remember:

1. The primaries would observe the principle of Women 50/50, i.e., elections would flipflop between the sexes.
2. The Presidential Progression would be observed, that is, the winner of the latest presidential contest would come in at the bottom level.
3. Primaries would begin on July the Fourth in all regions with no public advertising before or during the election. All results would be posted on government websites.
4. Vote cycles would be one week with a Criticism brainbee of the Regional 7 finalists with candidates have rebuttal rights.
5. Anyone who posts falsehoods would be subject to De-electrification Fines and/or Day Labor Punishment depending on the severity of the lie.
