With my own experience trying to get on the ballot in Illinois based upon Illinois’ corrupt requirements,

With my own experience mailing my nominating petition, as allowed by law, from Morton to Springfield which are separated by less than 70 miles and having the petition officially taking 9 days to arrive at the designated location in Springfield and therefore being declared late and thus rejected,

With the Democrat Party in Illinois through the legislature that it controls redrawing the Congressional District boundaries before the 2012 general election gerrymandering out at least three incumbent Republicans who were elected in 2010 and the Leftist courts approving the gerrymandered districts,

With Leftist federal judges striking down State valid Voter I.D. Card requirements passed to prevent voter fraud including the Texas I.D. law under which I voted,

it has become obvious that Congress needs to use its right to control federal elections within the States under Article I Section 4 ¶ 1.

Article I Section 4 ¶ 1

“The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.”

I have a proposal to establish the time, place, and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives as provided within the Constitution. The proposal will be posted as a two part post today and tomorrow. Today, the time for the primary election for Senators and Representatives. My reading of the Constitution suggests that Congress can not require the States to use this proposal for Presidential primaries. However, Congress may encourage the States to do just that. I believe most, if not all States, will recognize the advantages of running the primaries for all three at the same time and will include all three in the primaries. By law if passed, the States would have to use this method for nominating candidates for the House of Representatives and for the Senate.

The proposal:

The States and the District of Columbia, which has three Electoral College votes, will be divided into four groups based upon Electoral College votes and compact geographical location so that Presidential candidates could campaign in each region for one primary election.

A drawing would be held to determine the order of the primaries for each primary group with four primary dates in each primary cycle—one primary date for each group of four. During the twenty year cycle of five Presidential Elections, each group would be the first group to hold a primary election within the first sixteen years of the cycle. Each group would also be second, third, and fourth in the first sixteen years. In the fifth election, a new drawing would be held to determine the primary date for each of the four groups.

An example of the election dates in the first cycle might be:

Group A would hold the first primary on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in March.

Group B would hold the second primary on Tuesday three weeks after the first primary.

Group C would hold the third primary on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in May.

Group D would hold the fourth primary on Tuesday three weeks after the third primary.

An example of the election dates in the second cycle might be:

Group B would hold the first primary on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in March.

Group C would hold the second primary on Tuesday three weeks after the first primary.

Group D would hold the third primary on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in May.

Group A would hold the fourth primary on Tuesday three weeks after the third primary.

All primaries would be completed in about three months with four primary dates. No State would hold a primary that is separate and distinct from the States in the group.

Alignment for the four groups and the Electoral College votes for each State in 2020:

(Actually this would be a one drawing election. With the census occurring after the 2020 election, the four groups should change slightly as some States lose a member or two in the House and some States gain House members. The cycle is for twenty years with the groupings determined by the appropriate census. Since I do not know the groups after the 2020 census, I used the figures from the 2010 census. The concept is the same. The election years are different.)

State and Electoral College vote (141)	Group A
01) Connecticut	07
02) Indiana	11
03) Maine	04
04) Massachusetts	11
05) Michigan	16
06) New Hampshire	04
07) New Jersey	14
08) New York	29
09) Ohio	18
10) Pennsylvania	20
11) Rhode Island	04
12) Vermont	03

 

State and Electoral College vote (137)	Group B
01) Alabama	09
02) Delaware	03
03) District of Columbia	03
04) Florida	29
05) Georgia	16
06) Kentucky	08
07) Maryland	10
08) Mississippi	06
09) North Carolina	15
10) South Carolina	09
11) Tennessee	11
12) Virginia	13

 

State and Electoral College vote (126)	Group C
01) Alaska	03
02) Colorado	09
03) Idaho	04
04) Illinois	20
05) Iowa	06
06) Kansas	06
07) Minnesota	10
08) Missouri	10
09) Montana	03
10) Nebraska	05
11) Nevada	06
12) North Dakota	03
13) Oregon	07
14) South Dakota	03
15) Utah	06
16) Washington	12
17) Wisconsin	10
18) Wyoming	03

State and Electoral College vote (134)	Group D
01) Arizona	11
02) Arkansas	06
03) California	55
04) Hawaii	04
05) Louisiana	08
06) New Mexico	05
07) Oklahoma	07
08) Texas	38

The proposal is based upon a primary election being held for Presidential candidates, House candidates, and Senate candidates at the same time. However, if a State does not desire to hold the Presidential primary at this time, it does not create a problem. The State would still hold a primary at the appointed time for House candidates and the Senate candidate, if there is one. Of course, only about one-third of the Senate is elected every two years. Therefore, most States would not have a Senate candidate in any particular election. In the off year elections, the same schedule would be used in 2022 that was used in 2020 [1st Presidential election]. The same schedule would be used in 2026 that was used in 2024 [2nd Presidential election]. The same schedule would be used in 2030 that was used in 2028 [3rd Presidential election]. The same schedule would be used in 2034 that was used in 2032 [4th Presidential election]. There would be a new drawing for the 2036 election. The same schedule would be used in the 2038 election that was used in the 2036 election [5th Presidential election. The 20 year cycle is complete and a new drawing would be held based upon the new census and the realignment of the States into four new groups.].

Probably, the Presidential candidates for all the political parties and all the Houses candidates for all the parties would be known by the end of May. The Senate candidates would also be known by the end of May. From then on, all campaigning is for the general election unless some State(s) chooses to have their Presidential Primary after the end of May.

You can not win the election if you do not run for the office. You can not win the election if you do not get on the ballot.

Vote Darrell Castle for President. The Constitutional Conservative!
