Yes on one person, one vote and no cross party voting. Although you eliminate a lot of potential voters by eliminating independents. Perhaps as independent can vote in one primary, but not the other?
And each party/state has to have the same rules. If the GOP were still struggling under the Dem system, the Dems wouldn't be so worried. But, havingseen this, the GOP will never adopt the Dem system, so I bet the Dems go back to the old way.
Why forbid polls? Afraid people will just back the apparent winner? Those people can't possibly care who wins.
Running every primary on the same day would favor the bigger bank roll and organization. Would also favor use of the mainstream media because you have to be able to talk to everyone at once.
