The Florida Vote

A reader writes:

I am getting a little sick of the meme that the “Republican Legislature” in Florida forced the early primary date down the throats of the Democrats.  This argument that the Dems had no say in this, and were just innocent victims, flies in the face of the facts.  The bill to move the Florida Primary earlier in the calendar was passed by a vote of 118-0 in the House and 37-2 in the Senate.  The Florida Dems were a willing party to this violation of DNC rules.

Florida's Dems now want a June 3  mail-in ballot.
