Stephen Medvic reports that Reps. Ney and Hoyer have introduced a bill “to establish a single date for presidential candidates to receive public funds for the general election. The date would be the Friday of Labor Day weekend.” I agree with Medvic that this is a no-brainer, but it is also quite obvious that more comprehensive changes are necessary. One proposal out there is the Thomas-Toner proposal (linked here) that I hope to examine in the next few weeks.
