Atlanta - Arguments about the fate of 1.7 million Florida votes (including over 8,000 from Jackson County) were heard before the U.S. Court of Appeals in Atlanta, Georgia, on Monday.
A voter from Tampa is seeking an order from the court requiring Florida's votes to be counted. As it stands now, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) says that Florida's votes in the January 29, 2008 Democratic Primary should not count. The DNC feels that Floridians should not vote as early as voters in other states, particularly Iowa and New Hampshire.
The court made no decision on Monday, but will consider the issue. There is no word on when a decision is expected.
The case affects only Democrat voters in Florida. Republican votes in the state have been accepted by that party's national organization.
