Florida Legislative Committee Hears Testimony on Moving Primary from March to January

The regular session of the Florida legislature doesn’t start until March 6, 2007. Nevertheless, the House Ethics and Elections Committee held a hearing on January 10 on a proposed bill to move the Florida presidential primary from early March to January 29. The proposal is worded such that Florida’s presidential primary would be one week after New Hampshire’s primary. Currently, New Hampshire’s primary is set for January 22, 2008, although New Hampshire gives its Secretary of State authority to move the presidential primary, so New Hampshire’s date might change.
