DNC Poised to Solve Delegate Dilemma

May 29th, 2008 by flanews

Members of the Democratic National Committee will meet this weekend to try and agree on a plan to send a Florida Delegation to the party’s national convention. Florida was penalized for moving up its primary. The DNC initially took away all of the parties delegates. Now there’s support for plans to either seat half of the 211 member delegation, or seat the entire delegation and give every member half a vote. Florida Democratic Party Spokesman Alejandro Miyar said he hopes the problem gets solved this weekend.

“We’re looking for a resolution for this saga with the Democrats that has gone on for way too long. We’re looking for some sort of resolution that’s going to allow us to move ahead and make sure we do the work necessary to win come November,” said Miyar.

Hillary Clinton won the party’s primary in Florida; she wants all the delegates counted.
