Stacking the Deck

Today, the Democratic National Committee approved a proposal to reshape the 2024 presidential nominating calendar .  The DNC voted to make South Carolina the first state to hold a primary, followed by Nevada and New Hampshire on the same day a few days later, and then Georgia and Michigan before Super Tuesday. 

Makes lots of sense, from more than one point of view:

• encouraging heavier turnout in states that have been trending liberal
• encouraging turnout in states like Michigan that traditionally vote Democratic
• garnering beaucoup press coverage well before Super Tuesday, in turn driving turnout on that day

Yet another tactic for GOTV ...
