rules in other states. Not only did Florida disregard the rules, now they are making it a
point to pick delegates based on inaccurate and invalid results.
I am all for Florida delegates being counted. i just thing they need to have a new caucus or
primary and conduct a FAIR process. Sort of sucks that Florida once again is causing
election friction. Gore V Bush and now Obama V Clinton. Never thought it would happen in
our own party.

entitled to vote.)> 04. Once registration and Party affiliation are verified, participants will
be given a "Statement of Support." This form must be completed with the name of the
candidate he/she supports and signed while at the registration table. The signed
