Please explain: why did the FL Dems vote with the Repugs to move elections?

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

I need to understand this. Bill Nelson asserts that the Dems didn't go along with that and how they were duped by the governor and the Repug-controlled legislature. But what is the real story? I understood that the majority of the FL Dems voted WITH the Repugs.

1. Bill Nelson is a republican

Just look at his voting record and who endorsed him in his last re-election

2. As I understand it

the Republican congress in FL tacked this onto a bill that needed to be passed. The Democrats had little choice but to vote for it.

Michigan is a whole different story.

3. Did they really have to vote for it? They still didn't get a paper trail, so I don't

understand why they are asserting that they were FORCED to vote with the Repugs.

5. I think the bill that it was tacked onto

was a paper ballot bill, which Democrats are generally for.

4. The Florida Democratic party is controlled by the DLC

And they usually vote with Repukes.

6. How about

they were sick and tired of small states like Iowa, New Hemisphere, Nevada and South Carolina getting such a big say on who our next president is and thought there state ( which has been SOO key in last few elections) should get an early say
