The Florida primary was moved forward as part of a referendum to standardize on optical scan voting machines. Would you care to comment on how that referendum happened to change the date of the Florida primary... and disenfranchise the Florida voters?

Well, first I don’t think it was just that referendum caused the change. I believe the state legislature on the House side or the Speaker of the House proffered a motion that came over to the Senate, and the Democrats in the Senate wanted a paper trail measure added to it with reference to the change of the date. So the change of the date took place inside the legislature with the Governor’s approval and not on a state-wide referendum.

The Florida legislature, the RNC and the DNC have effectively blocked 10 million Florida voters from having a voice in the 2008 presidential primary. What are you doing to restore voting rights to these 10 million Floridians?

I think once it becomes evident in mid-February of who the nominee is going to be. I think that nominee, she or he, will resolve the Florida issue, the Michigan issue, everyone who has issues right now will be resolved in my opinion.
