2. Minnesota will Caucus on February 2, 2016.

In those precinct caucus meetings a straw poll will be taken for President for each party. It is non-binding, and a primary will still occur later in the year. Traditionally, however, the caucus winner wins the primary.

3. I think this data is very unreliable

New York has never held a February Primary, much less held one before the Big Three (would be before South Carolina). I think the critical line in the NYS Election law is "unless otherwise changed by an act of the legislature"

4. 2008 it did.

Feb 5th... Super Tuesday.

May change for 2016, no idea.
