Florida re-do of primary dead for now.

March 18, 2008 By admin

The NY Times and other sources are reporting the Florida Democratic Party has given up on the idea of a new primary before the party’s summer convention.  Since the idea is still alive in Michigan, I’d be surprised if more discussion doesn’t happen, at least while the Florida Legislature is still in session.  The reasons given in Florida appear to be costs, ongoing change of voting technology, and the need to preclear changes under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act.
