Daily Voice

Governor Andrew Cuomo is reportedly pushing to “upend the presidential primary calendar” by having voters head to the polls in February rather than April.

If Cuomo makes the decision to veto a bill that would set the presidential primary to Tuesday, April 28, it would occur just a few weeks after the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary, which are considered to be “pivotal.”

Cuomo may also approve of moving New York’s legislative primaries for state Senate and Assembly, currently scheduled for June 23, 2020, to coincide with a February presidential primary.

However, officials say that many steps would need to be taken in order to turn this potential plan into a reality.

1. I get it, but it is cold then and campaigning will have to take place in the worst part

of winter

2. What "campaigning"?

This is what I don't understand about people who call for a national Primary vote. There won't be campaigns in high population States; there'll only be a lot of TV ads.
