The article details the political issues between the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Florida. States across the U.S. have changed their 2008 primary dates in an effort to increase voter turnout and be part of a meaningful decision for party nominations. Florida's Republican legislature moved the state's primary to January 29, 2008. The DNC felt that this date broke their policies and announced that no Florida delegates will be allowed to go to the national convention.
