The primary rules : parties, voters, and presidential nominations
Caitlin Jewitt (Author)
Jewett illuminates the balance of power that the parties, states, and voters assert on the primary process and provides readers with a clearer sense of what the rules are, how they have changed, their consequences, and practical guidance on how to modify the rules of the nomination system to achieve their desired outcomes in future elections. --From publisher description
