Primary Calendar Gerrymandering?

Filed under: Courts,Election 2008,No Free Lunch — OUT @ 12:24 am

Gerrymandering is the practice of remapping political districts for partisan political gain. Is that what is already happening to the primary election calendar?

Is reshuffling of primary voting schedules on short notice going to benefit some candidates at the expense, literally, of their primary rivals?

Somebody must think so.

Are those primaries going to be won in court instead of the ballot booth?

Don’t bet against it.

Maybe there’s enough time left in the 2008 Election Season for the courts to work through all those lawsuits challenging the results of rescheduled primaries.

Do you think the courts will be able to finish in time for the general election, November 4, 2008?

Who is going to pay for all those court cases?

Is that your phone ringing?

Don’ t worry. They’ll call back.
