The Needs of Few

Today's Iowa Caucuses remind me how this country's culture has moved from the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few (i.e., "majority rule") to the wants of a few outweigh the needs of the many.

This is what a Dictatorship really is; one person or one small group of people influencing the voter turnout. Influencing is the keyword here. Why do the people in Iowa (or New York, or Wyoming, or Illinois or wherever) get to influence the outcome of elections in New Hampshire?

It seems to me that we need to hold Primary Elections consistently throughout these United States and do so over a long (4-day) weekend. We should require employers to give people at least two of these 4 days off so they have time to go vote in person. Start voting on Friday, leaving the polls opened all weekend. On Monday at Noon Pacific time, the polls would close and then the vote counting would begin. Reporting vote totals would begin on Monday night/Tuesday morning.

Do this in all 50 states, simultaneously.

The way it runs today, reminds me of a straw market in a Third World country; you never know who has the better product and everyone is saying the other guy is worse than they are.

If we can elect a President in one day, we can have a Primary over the weekend.
