California wants in

Well, apparently California has decided to move up its primary date, in order to be included in the action to pick the nominees for the next election. This means that, assuming other states like Florida, Texas, and New Jersey do likewise, we'll have less than a month from the first primary to when everything is decided, likely coming within only a couple weeks from Iowa and New Hampshire.

So, while we still have many months until the votes themselves, it's gonna be a packed winter next year, with all the states wanting to be "in on the action." Nobody wants to be the "BC" of the primaries, with the contest over before they finish voting. At least those in BC can still be happy that they won't get to know the results of Canadian elections early.
