You are correct that state laws change quickly when needed to support a favorite son. In 2008 the Obama campaign was worried that Super Tuesday would give Clinton such a large lead that she would lock in too many superdelegates. They got the legislature to move the primary from the third week in Mar to the first week in Feb. That gave Obama enough delegates that he could build his lead through the Feb and Mar caucus states and leave Clinton scrambling in the spring.
