Delegate Dilemma

March 7th, 2008 by flanews

State lawmakers are considering a bill to deny a ballot position to any presidential candidate whose party refused to seat Florida�s delegates at its national convention this summer. Questions remain about the ideas constitutionality, but in an effort to force the national Democratic Party to count Florida�s delegates, Governor Charlie Crist said the idea is worth studying.

�Anything�s worth consideration when you�re talking about protecting your right to vote and the exercise of democracy. I saw that and read it in some news accounts this morning. Certainly it�s something I would be willing to look at.�

If such a scenario were to unfold, the task of allotting the state�s 27 electoral votes would likely fall to the state�s GOP controlled legislature.
