Almost seven years after the 2000 presidential election problems, there is another Florida election controversy.

Saturday, the Democratic National Committee voted to strip Florida's Democratic Party of all its presidential convention delegates unless the state changes its Jan. 29 primary and holds it later than Feb. 5, WESH 2 News reported.

Florida Democrats said they'll sue to keep the primary as it is, meaning that for now, Democrats are fighting each other, not the Republicans, over the presidential election of 2008.

"Florida's a very important state to the Democratic process, but we have 49 other states we also have to take into consideration," Alexis Herman, DNC Rules Committee Co-Chair, said.

Florida Democrats said they blame the Republican-controlled state legislature for slipping the early primary into a new law that also creates a paper trail for electronic ballots.
