Florida will NOT have a second presidential primary

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Democrats won't go forward with a plan to redo the presidential primary with a mostly mail-in vote.

The plan to have the party run a second primary in an effort to seat the state's delegates at August convention was abandoned Monday after party leaders expressed concerns about the proposal.

The state party considered the idea because the Democratic National Committee is refusing to award delegates based on Florida's Jan. 29 primary, in which Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton beat Sen. Barack Obama. The DNC stripped Florida of its delegates because party rules didn't allow the state to vote before Feb. 5.
