What they should be doing is voting to remove the Republican majority in the Florida House, Florida Senate, & Governor's office.
They are the real source of our election problems. The 2000 election wouldn't have went down like it did if Jeb wasn't Bush's brother & Katherine "dragon lady" Harris (who was George W. Bush's 2000 Election Florida Co-Chair) weren't there to purge black voters & out of state ex-felons from the voting rolls in the guise of purging actual felons. Talk about conflict of interest.
Likewise this year's Democratic primary fiasco wouldn't have happend if the Florida Congress wasn't 2:1 Republican to Democrats. They controled the legislation to illegally push the primary to Jan. 29 & tagged on a provision that supports paper ballot printouts when one uses voter machines so Dems would be pressured to support their propasal.
Also, IMHO the only people that would refuse to vote because of what happened in the 2008 primary season are people who did not vote for Obama. Trust I don't want to be divisive but it could be sour grapes.
