DNC Votes to Strip Florida of Delegates

"Florida's Democratic primary was thrown into disarray on Saturday when the Democratic National Committee voted to strip the state of its national convention delegates because the date of the primary -- Jan. 29 -- violates party rules," the Miami Herald reports.

"The decision is likely to affect how much time and money Democratic presidential candidates spend in the state and may affect the outcome of a property-tax referendum scheduled to be voted on the same day."

"The move -- which would become effective in 30 days unless Florida Democrats can reach a compromise with the national party -- could turn the Democratic primary in the fourth-largest state into an essentially meaningless 'beauty contest.'"
