Last Case on Timing of Florida Presidential Primary Dismissed for Mootness

During late 2007 and early 2008, there were three cases challenging the date of the Florida presidential primary. The state insisted on holding the primary in January, even though the Democratic National Committee rules said no state could hold such a presidential primary except for New Hampshire.

One of the cases was filed by a Democratic voter against the state of Florida, and argued that the state was disenfranchising Democrats by holding the primary on a date that contradicted the wishes of the party. The case was held moot on October 5, 2009. It was Ausman v Browning, U.S. District Court, northern district, 4:07-cv-519. The case never got a substantive decision, because in the earlier stages of the case, the primary was held before the court could reach a decision.

  1. Having elections is one of the very few things *absolutely* required in all/most State regimes.

    Thus – unless the election laws involved are changed, then there is NEVER any *moot* stuff.

    Even if there are election law changes, then there was or was not a election law violation at the specific election.

    I.E. the MORON courts at their usual STUPID work.
