"D.C. is the second jurisdiction which is considering moving its presidential primary to a date that is later than the first week in June. Kentucky has a bill to move the presidential primary to early August. The more places that entertain the idea of a presidential primary later than the first week in June, the more likely it becomes that the Democratic and Republican national committees will re-think their rule that won’t recognize presidential primaries later than the first week in June. In 2012, the Democratic convention doesn’t start until September 3, and the Republican convention doesn’t start until August 27, so it seems irrational to forbid presidential primaries later than the first week in June."
