FairVote tackles broken 2008 presidential primaries

This presidential election cycle for general election November, 2008 has seen an increase in change in state primary dates. Even recently, states were moving up their primary days to be more competitive in choosing their respective presidential nominees from each party. FairVote is on the front line in presidential primaries reform; during their 2007 Claim Democracy Conference earlier this month, they discussed this very timely topic:

FairVote Convenes Panel on How to Fix the Primaries
At FairVote's 2007 Claim Democracy Conference, an expert panel got together for a good old fashioned "smoke filled room" discussion of the future of presidential primaries reform. Joining the distinguished panel was Libby Benton, Legislative Aide to Rep. Sander Levin, Pamela Prah of Stateline.org, Kate Nilan, Senior Advisor to Sen. Amy Klobuchar, and Kay Stimson, Director of Communications and Special Projects for National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS). The discussion was moderated by FairVote's Ryan O'Donnell.
Most panelists came with differing ideas about how to fix the primaries, but all expressed the need to act. Check out some resources below.
