U-S Senator Bill Nelson is proposing a massive election reform package. It includes abolishing the Electoral College by amending the
constitution to allow a direct election of the president. But, the plan does nothing to make Florida’s democratic delegates count.

Addressing the Florida Senate, the Democratic U-S Senator was blunt.

“This election has provided further evidence that our system is broken.”

Nelson’s fix is to ban touch screen voting machines nationwide. He sets up six regional primaries. That ends the mess Florida is in for breaking party rules by voting early.

Nelson also creates early voting nationwide, and abolishes the Electoral College.

“All of this has come to a head because, here we are in Florida, over 1.7 million Democrats turned out on the Presidential primary, and now the party is not honoring that vote.”

Nelson is pushing National Democrats to follow their own rules and seat half of the states delegates...so far with no luck.

The next step is another federal lawsuit, filed this time by delegates
and people who voted.

Nelson and State Senator Steve Geller worry up to 10 percent of the state’s Democrats will vote GOP or not at all if the delegate issue isn’t settled.

“Not only are we going to lose the state in the presidential election,
I’m afraid we’ll lose congressional elections and other seats. This
issue must be resolved.”

Another worry for Democrats is that without resolution to the delegate issue, Florida could find itself at war with the national party again in just four years because Florida’s legislature isn’t going to move the primary back.

Sources say the new lawsuit will be filed next week.
