There is a far greater disenfranchsiment if Florida is seated
Advertisements [?]
Going into the florida primary everyone understtod that the votes would not count. Hundreds of thousands og people stayed away from the polls on that basis.

To turen around and now say that the ballots that were cast suddenly count is disenfranchising to the people who were told by the Florida Democratic Party and the local that it was nothing more than a straw poll that had no bearing on the result.


To npow seat the delgation based on the outcome of that election...is a bait and switch...a deception it should not stand as the election of record.

Is this not a democracy. Should not the votes of all who think thier votes should matter have the oppotunity to vote?
