A Florida Vote that Doesn’t Count?
May 10th, 2007
No its not 2000 election redux, it could well be the decision of the Democratic Party. You see every election cycle the DNC lays out primary schedule. This year many states looked to move their primary up. Florida chose to move its primary all the way up to January. This got the party mad! Hopping mad!
So as penalty the DNC might well let Florida hold the primary but make it non-binding. Instead, party leaders may well pick who Florida’s 200 delegates goto. Why? I have no idea why in the world someone would do it that way but its what they are considering.
Here in New York you must be enrolled in a party to vote in the primaries so I never get the chance to be involved in the process. I will say that even my geeky butt probably wouldn’t turn out to vote if I knew it had no impact.
