Keep up with the SEC Primary!
Southern Democrats do count - at least occasionally!
Keep up at SECPrimary.com!
Remember as most of us continue to wander in the desert, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer!"
History has shown us that the South is generally overlooked when it comes to choosing the President of the United States. States with smaller populations and scattered election dates have caused the South to be pushed aside for states and regions with a larger concentration of delegates.
To remedy this Southern neglect, Secretaries of State, led by Brian Kemp of Georgia, banded together to move the primary election dates of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia to March 1, 2016 (with Louisiana just a few days later).
The formation of an SEC Primary creates a region in which candidates must invest their time, energy and money or take a massive hit on the road to the Whitehouse.
The 1,010 delegates from these states will be up for grabs as an army of candidates marches through the South to claim the right to represent their party in the November General Election.

Where are we Democrats as of last month? This sums it up:
1 | Hillary Clinton
Wake me up when the Republicans decide who I have to run against. HRC
No 2 and 3.

OP
I thought Hillary Clinton already won that one? The support of firms under investigation by the SEC.

http://www.sec.gov/answers/investg.htm
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigations are conducted confidentially to protect evidence and reputations. Important documents could be destroyed if an investigation is publicly announced, so confidential treatment may help to preserve key evidence in a case. A confidential process also protects the reputations of companies and individuals where the SEC finds no wrongdoing by the firm or the individuals that were the subject of the investigation. As a result, the SEC generally will not confirm or deny the existence of an investigation unless and until it becomes a matter of public record.
