The 2020 presidential selection process is already underway. As the
political parties finalize their nominating rules and the states
jostle for an advantageous contest date, potential challengers are
being identified and sized up by party insiders. Once again, media
and popular attention will be disproportionately focused on the
candidates' performance in the first and earliest of the state
nominating contests-and on how quickly the sequence of primaries
and caucuses winnows the field and identifies the presumptive
nominees. But what are the implications of a sequential and
front-loaded nominating calendar that gives some voters outsized
influence while leaving many others with a constrained choice-or no
choice-in the selection of their party's presidential nominee?
Reforming the Presidential Nominating Process: Front-Loading's
Consequences and the National Primary Solution critiques the
contemporary nominating process from the perspective of voters and
their right to effectively participate in their parties' selection
of a presidential nominee. Employing both a common-sense and legal,
rights-based framework to invite a constitutionally grounded
conversation on the legitimacy of the current presidential
nominating process, Lisa K. Parshall argues that timing of
participation in the nomination goes hand-in-hand with the right to
choose a candidate and the fairest way to restore the promise of
meaningful and timely participation for all voters is by adopting a
same-day national primary. Viewed from the party membership
perspective, this work illuminates the fundamental interests at
stake that should be considered in any potential reform of the
presidential nominating system.
