Politics - in the Florida GOP
Somehow, this doesn't seem right to me.
I guess it's an internal party rule, and not a law, but that doesn't change my opinion.
Primaries are specifically for the purpose of having party members VOTE to select the candidate..

At Townhall.com, Jillian Bandes describes the issue:
"At issue is Florida’s 'Rule 11,' which holds that party members are able to block out a given candidate in a primary election if they deem the candidate unfit to run. After the rule is invoked, no primary race is held – instead, GOP insiders get to decide the election.
In Florida’s GOP, Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer, a friend of Crist’s, tried to invoke the rule to ruin Rubio’s chances before he ever got off the ground."
