Dem presidential candidates left off the FL ballot are digging in; party is standing by the process
As of Friday, three Democratic presidential candidates are stuck and unable to get on the March primary ballot in Florida — and they say it’s suppressing democracy.
At issue is that the Florida Democratic Party has submitted only President Joe Biden’s name on the March 2024 presidential primary ballot. Biden is dominating the Democratic race for president, with an average lead of approximately 60 points over any other contender in the presidential race, according to RealClearPolitics.
But Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips, author and former presidential candidate Marianne Williamson and “The Young Turks” host Cenk Uygur said Friday that they’re still pushing to get their own names on the primary ballot in Florida.
Williamson and Uygur together sent a letter to the Florida Democratic Party on Friday, asking for their names to be submitted to the Florida Secretary of State’s office, according to comments they made during a Zoom press conference.
Uygur says that if the state party doesn’t submit their names to get on the ballot, they will make an “implementation challenge” to both the FDP and the Democratic National Committee and “try to actually get them to follow their own rules and by-laws.”
“Because we are correct,” he said at the Zoom conference call. “The FDP is incorrect in how they are applying these rules. That implementation challenge has succeeded before. It will likely succeed in this case if we have to go to it and it’s just flat out embarrassing for the FDP leadership that they have to be forced to follow their own rules.”
