The state of Florida taxpayers should NOT be paying to redo any elections for a "party"... the January election was held and voted for. Also, Party Primary votes are not a requirement of the U.S. Constitution because it is a "Party Issue" and not a general election like Gore and Bush in 2000. This is why U.S. Senator Bill Nelson had no ground to stand on when he went to court and sued the DNC to have Florida delegates seated this summer. The DNC like the RNC are private party organizations and it should be private money that pays for any activities they hold. The best thing the Florida Dems can do is move to Impeach Howard Dean as Chair of DNC or threaten to give them no more money for any elections.

i do not want to have to pay for a mail in re-do of the votes that were already cast. Count those votes. Mail in votes are too easy to tamper with and another big controversy would be started.

There is absolutely no reason why there should be a primary do-over. We were given a date to vote and I believe everyone who was going to vote did so. They even said it was a record turn out. We did not do a re-vote when there were problems in the presidential election, why should we spend the money now just for a party nomination.

I think the Floridians have treated unfairly and there should not be a do-over, it should count as it was voted that day. I don't believe that all this is fair to the people who voted, they, the Government, are the ones who wasted the money, they should count the votes as is. They are taking our votes away from us, I am a Republican and I am ashamed of the politics interferring with our freedom. MAKE THE VOTES COUNT!!!!!!!!!!
