The Republicans changed the primary date to basically screw with the Dems, and it worked.

I do not agree with what my party did, but I would have thought that the National Democratic party would have considered this in their original decision to throw out the votes. In my opinion is was a disfranchisement to the Democrats of Florida. That being said, I am not in favor of another vote; in fact, this won;t happen because it is past the time
line in the State of Florida.

As for the Electoral College, I think it is funny this came up recently, as I just finished teaching my students about it! Remember that the original intent was that all states had a voice no matter if they were small or large (Sorry, its the government teacher inside of me!)

If the Florida Democrats had actually voted against the proposal, I might agree with you.
