Fla. Dems settle on new plan for vote-by-mail primary
By Lesley Clark | McClatchy NewspapersWASHINGTON -- Facing tight deadlines for a do-over election, Florida Democrats are rushing to deliver to the national party as soon as Thursday a plan to vote again in the presidential primary -- this time, by mail.
If approved, ballots could start going out to voters in April.
Though the election-by-mail plan has its detractors, state Democrats say they're under a time crunch to complete voting by June 10 -- the Democratic National Committee's deadline for allocating delegates. Submitting the plan now will start a 30-day public-comment clock that would end in time for ballots to be sent out mid April.

Well it's not like we've ever had any problems with voting in Florida ...

This does not look promising. I really don't think that this ia a good time for Floridians to be experimenting. Mail-in ballots have been used successfully elsewhere but there is not evidence that Florida has the system or security in place to make this work. If I put on my seer hat, I forsee lawsuits, definitely lawsuits, in the near future.
