Voters in Florida won't be Mailing it in

The AP is reporting that the Florida mail-in do-over plan is dead:

Florida Democratic Party chairwoman Karen L. Thurman sent a letter announcing the decision.

"A party-run primary or caucus has been ruled out, and it's simply not possible for the state to hold another election, even if the party were to pay for it," Thurman said. "... This doesn't mean that Democrats are giving up on Florida voters. It means that a solution will have to come from the DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee, which is scheduled to meet again in April."
Being a South Florida native, I have to agree with this decision. I'd vote Florida the state least likely to be able to get its political act together in time.
