My proposal for improving the Presidential primary process!

[jimrtex]

I think that politicians would somewhat ignore the single CD elections, and focus on 1st regional primary.  They aren't going to get that much of a boost out of one CD.

So an alternate version, divide the country into 4 regions, and then subdivide those further into 3 sub-regions.  Each sub-region would have 13 clusters of 2 or (mostly 3) CD's.
Northeast Region:

New England, Upstate New York:

(1) ME 2
(1) NH 2, VT 1
(4) MA 3,3,2,2
(1) RI 2
(2) CT 3,2
(4) NY 3,3,3,3

New York City-Philadelphia:

(6) NY 3,3,3,3,3,2
(5) NJ 3,3,3,2,2
(2) PA 3,3

Mid Atlantic:

(5) PA 3,3,3,2,2
(1) DE 1, MD 2
(2) MD 3,3
(1) WV 3
(1) DC 1, VA 2
(3) VA 3,3,3
Southeast Region:

(4) NC 3,3,3,3
(1) NC 1, GA 1

(4) GA 3,3,3,3
(2) FL 3,2

Florida, Gulf Coast:

(7) FL 3,3,3,3,3,3,2
(2) AL 3,3
(1) AL 1, MS 1
(1) MS 3
(2) LA 3,3

Texas, Arkansas:

(1) LA 1, AR 1

(11) TX 3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,2

(1) NM 3
(3) CO 3,2,2
(1) WY 1, MT 1
(1) UT 3
(3) AZ 3,3,2

Northwest

(1) NV 3
(1) ID 2
(3) WA 3,3,3
(2) OR 3,2
(1) HI 2, AK 1
(5) CA 3,3,3,3,3

California

(13) 3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,2
Schedule:

Each region has one election per month, with each region having a random week within the month.

January.  One cluster from each region, drawn randomly.

February: Two clusters from each region (from two subregions not used in January).

March: Three clusters from each region (one from each subregion).

At this point there are 11 clusters remaining in each subregion.  Re-aggregate the remaining CDs in each subregion (typically 30 to 33), and divide into 3 superclusters of 10 or 11 CDs.

April: Three superclusters from each region, one from each subregion.

May: Three superclusters from each region, one from each subregion.

June: Three superclusters from each region, one from each subregion.

So each week in January would have 2 to 3 CDs; in February 5 or 6; in March, 8 or 9;  In April through June from 30 to 33.
