TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Florida's Democratic Party chair is
urging the presidential candidates -- as well as national and state
party leaders -- to consider a combined vote-by-mail/in-person plan
as a redo of the January 29th presidential primary.
The idea would be to mail ballots to all registered Democratic
voters and set up 50 regional voting offices to help
"disadvantaged communities" participate in an election ending
June 3rd.
That's according to a memo by Karen Thurman, sent to Senators
Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, among others.
Democrats in Florida and Michigan have been scrambling to come
up with alternatives to ensure their delegates will be seated at
the national convention in Denver this summer. The Democratic
National Committee punished the states for moving their primaries
ahead of February 5th and stripped them of all their delegates.
Clinton won Florida and Michigan, although she was the only
major candidate on the ballot in Michigan.
