Don't we want to encourage MORE participation in the process, not less?

More democracy is always a good thing, no?

3. I think most people know why it was done by now. Some won't admit it.
It was power play by Dems and the GOP in Florida to be more important. It benefitted one candidate only.

The leaders were Hillary's campaign leaders here, Bill Nelson, and Florida legislature. They worked with Rubio since early 2006 to change the primary, the party and the legislators.

Then they got with the bloggers here who have yet to tell the truth.

Then they sent out press releases that Dean was taking their votes away.

They laughed at him on the Senate floor here, joked and were sarcastic.
