Ask It And They Will Answer

A couple of days ago I posted a question about an upcoming election of Florida delegates to be sent to the Democratic convention. Florida, you may remember, had been stripped of all of its delegates and the word from the DNC was that voting in the Democratic Florida Primary was, sure, patriotic, civic minded, and stuff like that, but otherwise a waste of time. So imagine my confusion when I started getting emails from delegate candidates.

Here's a response I received from Clyde Collins, one of the candidates vying for a delegate spot, assisting in explaining this situation and the reason for the voting this Saturday from 10am to 12 pm at the Union Hall on Liberty:

Florida is sending a delegation to the Democratic National Convention. There will be an appeal to seat the delegates either before or after the first round of voting. ALL registered DEMOCRATIC voters are eligible to vote for the delegates. Depending on which congressional district [Brown CD3, Crenshaw CD4], you can cast a vote for delegate according to the President candidate you support [Clinton, Obama, Edwards]. I am running as a delegate for Sen.Obama for the 4th CD and ask for your vote on Saturday.
