Bipartisan long-shot push to change primary law

While Democrats scramble to attempt a re-do of the Jan. 29th primary, a bipartisan group of legislators are hoping that the Florida Legislature would open up the next presidential primary to the nearly 2 million voters who don't have a party affiliation. The legislation would essentially allow an independent voter to be given a ballot

But both Sen. Paula Dockery, a Lakeland Republican, and Rep. Rick Kriseman, a St. Petersburg Democrat, admit it may be hard to even get their bills heard during this session despite support from both Democrats and Republican members in the two chambers.

And when asked why it wasn't more important to take care of the write-in loophole first, supporters of the legislation called it a "first step" that may  eventually convince lawmakers to open up other elections.
