Florida Democratic Party Nixes Idea of Second Primary

There will be no second primary in the state of Florida after the Florida Democratic Party abandoned all ideas and turned the decision over to the Democratic National Convention Rules & Bylaws Committee, scheduled to meet next month.

 

Karen Thurman, Democratic party Chairwoman in Florida sent an email to Democrats that read “We researched every potential alternative process -- from caucuses to county conventions to mail-in elections -- but no plan could come anywhere close to being viable in Florida.”

 

Thurman continued, “A party-run primary or caucus has been ruled out, and it’s simply not possible for the state to hold another election, even if the party were to pay for it.”
