Good grief...sounds like Iowa and NH need to revise their laws. So what will these states do now? What happens with the military ballots now. Aren’t they close to being printed?
First, Iowa and New Hampshire will be required by their State laws to move their events forward in the calendar.
Second, this is not an election required by State law. Each party has it’s own rules for who and when people will vote. The Iowa caucus will have no absentee or overseas military vote, because that’s not how a caucus works. New Hampshire may, or may not, depending on the way State Law works concerning party elections.
These laws are very well known and understood in all election circles, so Florida knew that it was accelerating the pace by making this move.
