New Florida Presidential Preference Vote a possibility

March 6, 2008 By admin

Since this issue is getting bipartisan attention, with the statements from the Florida and Michigan governors, I thought I’d start writing about it here.  As you know, the Florida Presidential Preference Primary was moved earlier this year.  As a result, the Democratic National Committee has reportedly stated the Florida vote would not count towards delegates at this summer’s convention.  According to reports, the Republican National Committee will only reduce Florida’s delegate count by 50%.  With the Democratic race still to be decided, the question of a new vote in Florida continues to come up in the media.   This will be interesting to watch as the Presidential Preference Primary is spelled out in statute – a repeat election could cause all sorts of challenges determining what rules to apply.  I’ll write more about the statutory issues as this debate goes on.
