Atrios reporting that the filing was due Sept. 1, but was not made until Sept. 2, and local Dems acknowledged it but are taking no action? Is that true?

Because then, the rules don't apply to you. Or at least it would seem so in Florida. The St. Petersburg Times reports that, against all probability, George W. Bush missed the filing deadline to get on the ballot in Florida. The deadline was Sept. 1, but because that's when the RNC was, they didn't file the papers until Sept. 2. This apparently won't stop the GOP though, and the Democrats are already folding under. (Thanks to Lazerus who dug this out.)
"Florida Democratic Party chairman Scott Maddox said he knew the president's certificate of nomination did not reach the state until Sept. 2, but he said he decided not to make an issue of it.""

Should we contact Scott Maddox to explain why no action is being taken?
