According to this morning's Naples Daily News (All the news fit to Large Print )Florida election officals are not particularly enthusiastic about a re-vote in the Florida presidential primary, especially if it held by mail. Lee County Election Supervisor, Sharon Harrington, sees a mail-in election as being "costly, complicated and against state law." She also has major misgivings for maintaining the integrity of the election. Florida has never run a state-wide election solely by mail and does not have the procedures in place to do so.
When the legislature proposed,last year, that the election be moved from its traditional date of the second Tuesday in March, which would have seen Florida voting today, btw, it did so in the form of an Omnibus election bill that included a requirement for a paper trail to back up certain voting machines. This provision, apparently, was what made the Democrats agree to the bill in spite of warnings from the DNC. So now, the 185 Florida delegates are in limbo while the Democratic Party tries to solve what is increasingly becoming a no-win situation. To read more of Harrington's concerns, click HERE
