When I was in first grade we all put our heads down on the desk when taking a vote up or down with our thumbs so that we wouldn't be influenced by others.

So, since first grade I've always maintained that all states should vote at the same time. It's the only fair way. We have candidates dropping out before the primaries are even done.

Can you imagine if a primary was being established for the first time today? Hey, let's make it an unfair hodge podge where this state goes first and the others pop up all on different days. Everybody would scream.

The general election is held on one day, so too can the primaries.

Fairness is easy once we get past the folks who want unfairness.
