Florida Democrats, a twist.
I had heard this once before, but again the Florida Democrats are claiming that the reason why their primary was held before it was supposed to because the Republican controlled legislature gave them no choice. On the issue of a re-vote:
A party-run primary or caucus has been ruled out, and it’s simply not possible for the state to hold another election, even if the Party were to pay for it. Republican Speaker of the Florida House Marco Rubio refuses to even consider that option.
On the issue of following the rules:
“The rules are the rules.” Unfortunately, the rules did not apply to Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina when they, too, violated the DNC calendar by moving from their assigned dates.
So if certain states violated the rules and have their delegates count then Florida should absolutely have theirs count as well, especially if the reason why they lost their vote is because the Republican controlled legislature controlled the date.
