Unless a federal judge intervenes, registered Democratic Party voters in Florida won’t have a chance to vote for Joe Biden or any of his opponents for the Democratic presidential nomination next year — a development that may happen only in a few other states in 2024.
The Florida Democratic Party has come under fire from some of Biden’s Democratic challengers who say they were unfairly shut out of the process of getting on the March 19 presidential preference primary ballot.
Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips, New Age author Marianne Williamson and “Young Turks” host Cenk Uygur have all publicly denounced their omission from the ballot, and last week a Tampa Democrat filed a federal lawsuit against the party, calling on a judge to place Phillips name on the ballot. By law in Florida, uncontested elections don’t appear on a ballot.
As of Monday afternoon, Florida is one of 12 states where the deadline has now passed for Democratic candidates to qualify for the 2024 presidential primary ballot. But it may be one of the very few states in the country where Democrats won’t get a chance to vote for Biden or one of his opponents for the nomination.
