I just found out the presidential preference primaries will be moved up to February or March. I am searching for what pernicious subversion underlies the decision, which is driving the local Election Services peeps a little batty. Board of Elections Director Trena Parker referred to the increased workload for six elections in fourteen months as a “ridiculous, unprecedented schedule.” My best guess is conservative legislators were expecting all the wind- and solar-powered vans trucking the uninformed electorate to early voting sites would run out of power before the big election. County employees indicate they are still halfway hoping GS 163-213.2 will be altered or abolished before preparation for that election must start.
