146. To now allow Florida to vote would be to give it an enormous power
in the process and their votes would have a great deal more impact than the votes of the 23 states that joined together and voted on super duper Tuesday Feb 5th.

Your desire to have your vote count evenly with all of the other primary and caucus voters is not possible. It is only possible to inforce the rule that the state leaders openly flaunted knowing the consequences or to rewrite the rules and let Floridians have a vote that will have a much greater impact than the states of Delaware, Georgia, Kansas, etc.

But beyond that there are overwhelming legal, operational and financial problems that would need to be addressed.


Exactly which proposal are you suggesting should be implemented, how are you going to exclude those who voted republican in the primary from double voting and who do you think should pay for it?
