What the Democrats of this state decide tonight may well determine the course of the presidential primaries in other states and the November election. According to the U.S. Census, the demographic breakdown of Americans is 60% non-Latino white, 18% Latino, 13% black and 6% Asian. Fewer than half of Nevadans are non-Latino white, while about 30% are Latino and 10% are black. One obvious quick fix is to shift the positions of the first four primary states so that Nevada and South Carolina gets one of the top two spots. That would at least be a start, but perhaps the primary process itself needs a more thorough examination.
