best solution to this mess is a national primary all states voting at the same time.

Doesn’t seem to me that the court has jurisdiction here. The party has the right to make the rules, no matter how arbitrary they might seem to be.

I find it hard to believe the Democratic Party can be this stupid. I’m a registered Republican looking to change parties because we don’t need any more of their ideas for a while considering how many years it will take to fix the last 8 years of Republican assistance. But why should I change parties to the Democratic Party and have no voice at all in Florida. Go Bill Nelson !
