Democrats Say Mail-In Re-Vote in Florida Unlikely

TALLAHASSEE - Looking for a do-over vote to resolve Florida’s disputed Democratic presidential primary? Don’t count on it.

Florida’s Democratic leaders Thursday all but pulled the plug on the day-old idea of a mail-in mulligan election to ensure the state gets a say in the historic battle between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. State party officials said they have just a few days to get fighting factions to embrace a new round of voting that would end on June 3.

“I know that it won’t happen,” said U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler, a Boca Raton Democrat and Obama supporter. All nine of Florida’s Democrats in the U.S. House reiterated their strong opposition to the re-vote plan on Thursday.
