It clearly states that the Florida Democratic Party’s primary ballot is submitted to the Secretary of State by November 30, 2023,” said Eden Giagnorio, communications director for the party, in a written statement on Thursday. “This is the standard process. The State Executive Committee meets to vote to place candidates on the presidential primary ballot at the Florida Democratic Party’s State Convention every four years.” >On Friday, Giagnorio said the three candidates did not receive any votes from the State’s Executive Committee in October and that’s why they are not on the primary ballot. >**Giagnorio said that according to Florida law, if there is one presidential candidate, neither the name of the candidate nor the names of the delegates shall be printed on the ballot, and Biden will be declared the automatic winner of the primary. “There will be no primary,” she said.** . . .
