some of the least diversity, racial and ethnic diversity in our country, should always go first. i think they have to evaluate these thresholds. but they actually have to go more deep than that and look at the entire process. that s the kind of improvement that i m looking for. and they have years to do it for the 2024 process. i m not asking the dnc to change the rules in the middle of the game for me. i don t want that. i want deeper and more meaningful change. and starting with how we order primary states makes sense. it also makes sense to look at states who make it easierer to vote. the iowa caucus is only held one time at 7:00 on one night. what does that do, for instance, to a shift worker that can t just show up at 7:00 that one night. there is no absentee voting, no
