Not Necessary?
Not necessary to give Florida an actual vote? We got denied what the other states have all had - rallies, town meetings, etc. Chances to actually see and listen to the candidates.
Also, many people decided to just skip the whole thing, feeling that their vote didn't really matter. It was not an actual campaign, with ads, calls the whole business, so many people who had not been following the national news closely more than likely went with name familiarity.
The familiar name was Clinton, and if actual time and attention was spent on the ground in the state, her "victory" might have been with less of a margin, if at all. It wasn't a fair test, through no fault of Florida votes, and needs to be re-run if anything is going to be counted at all.
