Governor Cuomo is pushing to upend the presidential primary calendar, making New York jump close to the head of the line by having voters head to the polls in February instead of late April, sources tell NY1.

Cuomo is considering vetoing a bill that would set the presidential primary on April 28, putting it just weeks after the pivotal Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary instead.

As a sweetener from Cuomo, sources say New York would also move its legislative primaries for state Senate and Assembly, currently scheduled for June 23, 2020, to coincide with a February presidential primary, potentially helping incumbents survive any challenges.

Sources tell NY1 Governor Cuomo and top legislative leaders have recently held discussions about a potential move.

If I were to change my party affiliation to Democrat so I could vote in the Dem primaries...
That would that make me a DINO.

Maybe Democratic voters who don't vote Democrat aren't the DINOs. Maybe it's the Democratic party, who seem to vote communist, that have become the DINOs?

This is just primary

I think, this is my specualtion.... But I think typically the nominees are essentially over by the time NY votes in the primary. He wants to move us up so the extreme left progs in this state left have a greater influence in determining who the dem nominee ends up.

I frankly welcome it. Let the dem nominee be as far fringe left as possible.

I don't want a moderate Dem. I want their nominee to be as radical as possible and if NY gets a larger role in determining the outcome it will definitely tilt farther left.
