Sen. Nelson (D-FL): Deal Could Be Reached Soon For New Florida Primary
After a year of arguments, lawsuits and an unauthorized primary, a deal may finally be close at hand for a do-over primary in Florida.
The details have yet to be worked out precisely, according to Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL), but it would involve a mail-in vote administered by the state party. "My job is clear," Nelson told Newsweek. "It's to stand up for the right of Floridians to vote as intended."
But here's the catch: The millions of dollars necessary to pay for this would have to be provided through unlimited soft-money contributions to the state party. That's right — this would be a special election funded by special interests.
Meanwhile, Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) has announced his firm opposition to a mulligan primary in his state.
