The date of our primary was voted on by the Florida Legislature - the body of <strong><em>elected</em></strong> representatives voted in by the citizens of our state. And a bunch of un-elected party bosses have the gall to tell us they aren't going to seat the delegates we voted for? What a load of horse manure! Then they add insult to injury by telling us that they'll seat our delegates if we spend millions of dollars (yes it would cost that much) to re-run what was a legal election in the first place? I say the hell with them! I think the ballot in Florida's general election should have the names of those candidates who won the primary in our state - and no others. If their general election candidate isn't the person who won our primary, well that's just too dadgum (a favorite word here in Tallahassee) bad. Their candidate just won't get the electoral votes from our state! If it costs their candidate the election - well they should have thought of that before trying to penalize us for running our primary the way we decide to.
