Florida would be an important primary regardless of when it was held.

A mail-in ballot, after the primary has already been held, is a waste of taxpayer money that could go towards other things (like improving the schools in South Florida, maybe?). If we must have another primary, let it be on the Democratic Party's dime. They have to learn their lesson somehow.
Thank you for posting this! I think that too many people picked up the news coverage on the issue only recently and so think the situation was like a big unpleasant "surprise" or something for FL and MI.
