Long term questions exits too. In FLA, for example, the state was told many months in advance of party rules and when the national parties allowed the FLA primary/caucus. FLA govt said, `F U, we want to be more important, we want it sooner`. The parties tried to compromise, but FLA wanted more and held their own citizens democratic rights hostage. Well, they killed the hostage to get what they selfishly demanded. End result, FLA citizens` votes worth less than a quarter of the votes of citizens of other states.
How do we stop arrogant politicians from doing that again?
Agreed 100% on the former.
Not sure how to do latter, or who should pay.
