Florida has had a tough time throughout this whole caucus/primary process. Florida attempted to move their primary up, against the rules of the Democratic National Committee. Florida was stripped of all her delegates in the 2008 presidential race.

The last state to face such harsh punishment was Delaware. However, Delaware is no Florida.

There has been uncertainty regarding what will happen with these delegates. Both Democratic candidates could benefit from the acquisition of these delegates. Democrats have been trying to come to a resolution but with little progress being made the state is in a curious position. Read here about the initial vote stripping.

Florida has been under the microscope, and the Democratic delegation in the US House of Representatives from Florida recently stated their position.

“Our House delegation is opposed to a mail-in campaign or any redo of any kind.”

These are harsh words for the DNC as this is a big time for the party. It seems as if Senator Clinton would benefit most from a recount. Read more here.

Florida is an important state and it has been for a long time. It would be a shame to all of the voters in Florida to be rendered as unimportant. It would be a disgrace to our “Democracy.” It is another blow to a party that is trying to change the United States.
