According to this story, Ben Carson still hasn’t told the Florida Republican Party that he will attend its “Sunshine Summit” set for November 13-14. Florida Republican rules this year say no one can appear on the presidential primary ballot unless he or she attends the meeting, or pays $25,000, or submits 125 signatures of Republican voters in each U.S. House district.
The party has invited every presidential candidate who qualified for any Republican presidential debate to attend. Carson is the only one who hasn’t accepted.
