.....For Tim Canova!
Good news! The Florida Democratic Party has decided to reverse its policy denying access to its voter database to Tim Canova, who is challenging Debbie Wasserman-Schultz in the Florida Democratic primary this year. (They have the Presidential primary at a different time than for the downticket races. This ones still on.) From the Miami Herald today:
Its been the policy of the Florida Democratic Party for the past six years to withhold access to candidates challenging incumbent Democratic members of Congress. But the party agreed in this single instance to give Canova access to the voter file to avoid any appearance of favoritism, Arceneaux told the Herald/Times on Thursday.

Its also possible that outcry over yet another case of the game being rigged favor of Wasserman-Schultzs wishes played a role. Ive made a donation to Tim Canova. You can too, if youre tired of the DLC-style world of DWS.
