The Democratic Party's decision to alter the order of primaries and move South Carolina to the front has sparked controversy, confusion, and complex primary systems. The move was intended to give minority, younger, and urban voters a greater voice, but has led to uncertainty and confusion among voters. New Hampshire's primary, moved to a later date by the DNC, has caused frustration and led some voters to switch party affiliation in protest. The unusual situations in upcoming primaries and caucuses, such as the absence of Biden's name on the ballot in New Hampshire and Trump's uncertain status in some states, add to the unpredictability of the 2024 presidential race. The differences between primaries and caucuses further complicate the process for voters, leading to concerns about the democratic process and the validity of the elections.
