  A Yougov poll showed overwhelming support among Democrats for this new schedule.

  It seems to be an issue that states and the DNC are still trying to figure out themselves. Here's what some Iowa legislators had to say about the DNC decision:
  Iowa Democratic Party Chair Rita Hart said her state “has been put in a position that makes it impossible to comply with both DNC rules and our own state law, which has exactly zero chance of being changed by the Republican legislature.” 
  Scott Brennan, a DNC member from Iowa, said the calendar “is a mess.” He added, “Passing the calendar today accomplished nothing other than kicking a deeply flawed can down the road.”
  In New Hampshire, where state law mandates they hold the first primary, Democrats say they cannot change the date of the primary. DNC officials have already passed rules that dictate states violating the calendar order will be punished, as will candidates who campaign in states that hold primaries outside their assigned days. >
  
  Just have another state pass a similar law so that the entire universe collapses from the ensuing paradox. Sure beats the current state of affairs. Do it before we have to file our taxes, please. >
