"We researched every potential alternative process -- from caucuses to county conventions to mail-in elections -- but no plan could come anywhere close to being viable in Florida," Congresswoman Karen Thurman, chair of the Florida Democratic Party, said in a memo to voters.
"We made a detailed case to the DNC (Democratic National Committee) Rules & Bylaws Committee, but we were denied," she added.
