Advancement Project, 4/17/2007
Download the PDF document here.
Advancement Project released a voter protection primer that explores the ramifications of the momentum of frontloading the 2008 elections as more states are moving their presidential preference primaries earlier in the election cycle. Approximately 34 states will cast their vote in the presidential preference primary on or prior to Tuesday, February 5, 2008. Of the thirty four states, only seven states will conduct either a Democratic or Republican caucus/primary before February 5, 2007. This means that on February 5, 2008, 27 states will conduct their primary/caucus turning the traditional “Super Tuesday” of March into a “Super Duper” Tuesday of February.
