Most states grew to prefer an early date(for their primary),so the primary schedule became heavily 'front-loaded' over recent years. In 2008, the scramble for an early date meant that 16 States held their primaries on the same day-'Super Tuesday' and three-fourths of the contests had been held by mid-March. That was not the case in 2012, however. That year, rule changes within the Republican Party, along with other factors, resulted in a long, drawn out primary election season.Only seven States held primaries on Super Tuesday in 2012, and y mid March, more than two-thirds of the contests had yet to be held.
