Last year, many states (including my home state of California) moved up their primaries to happen in early February. The idea was that the earlier their primary happened, the more influence their votes would have. Ironically, the exact opposite has. “Super” Tuesday didn’t really change much. The only thing that has happened is that the later states, such as next weeks “Crucial” Tuesday with the highly populated states of Texas and Ohio have more impact than before. Looks like the idea has backfired.
