Why don’t we tax the Democrats to pay for the revote....we already paid for a primary here in FL.

Yes, if Hillary wants a re-vote, let her pay for it.

Heck, I'll pay for the revote if you'll buy the popcorn!

Why not indeed?

Agreed! Why the heck should the taxpayers pay for two elections because the Dims couldn't get their act together? The Dims didn't have anyone sentient enough to think this through and see not seating delegations from two big states was not a tenable policy???

I agree. When the Primary is tacked on to normal election cycles I don’t have a problem with taxpayer payment for costs. When the election is at the sole behest of a non-Gov’t entity (Which Political Parties are) then it is up to them to foot the bill - Especially in this particular instance where it was so botched.

I’m predicting that the Florida Supreme Court will once again get involved in election politics before all this is over...

Pass the popcorn..

Awesome idea! Hit everyone that votes with, say, a $50 fee to offset re-vote costs. Let Democrats be true to their word and help government by contributing more, and avert crossover voting at the same time. What a noble thing for Democrats to do.

Will this mean that rats who voted in the Republican primaries in those states will now be able to vote for rats in these states? That means rats choose the candidates of both parties?

[Froggie]

A group of tax-payers in florida and michigan should sue and get an injunction against the state to stop them from spending tax payer money to finance another primary for the Dems. May not work but would cost the dems money to fight and would point out the idiocy of this idea.

Unfortunately, can't be done:

Amendment XXIV

Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.

Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Why don’t we tax the Democrats to pay for the revote....

FL and MI should tell the DNC: "You want a re-vote? You pay for it."
