An attorney acting on his own filed a complaint which may have a profound impact on the Democratic nomination.
Local attorney Jim Harris wants to make sure that delegates are not counted. Harris filed an elections fraud complaint with the State of Florida. He contends Florida voters knew the delegates were not being counted, therefore the January 29 primary wasn't a real election.
"My point is to make sure that the rules aren't changed in the middle of the game," Harris said.
More on the story:
"I'm just sort of a political junkie and I'm interested in this and I thought, wow, if I feel like this is unfair, other people probably feel it's unfair too," Harris said.
[...] A spokesperson for the Secretary of State said the procedure for complaints like this is for them to first determine whether it's credible and if any actions have violated state law.

In summary, his complaint is a proactive attempt to get the State to regard now the consequences if rules were changed to allow the delegates to be counted. My bet is that the State will shelve the matter until the situation becomes realized. But perhaps the State will decide to issue a ruling on the matter. Then expect fireworks.
As a Florida voter, I think Harris is wrong about one factor: Many Florida voters probably didn't know that the delegates weren't be counted. (I would even contend that most don't even understand the delegate/convention process.) But I suppose their ignorance could support his allegation that the election was fraudulent if such ignorance was inherent in the election process.
Though this may seem like an insignificant matter, I can imagine that it could easily mushroom into a consequential and national news story. In the spirit of "You read it here first," I wanted to present this interesting tidbit of information for you late-night readers.
